Exporting the values in List to excel

Question

Hi I am having a list container which contains the list of values. I wish to export the list values directly to Excel. Is there any way to do it directly?

Answer 1

Using ClosedXML library( there is no need to install MS Excel

I just write a simple example to show you how you can name the file, the worksheet and select cells:

    var workbook = new XLWorkbook();
    workbook.AddWorksheet("sheetName");
    var ws = workbook.Worksheet("sheetName");

    int row = 1;
    foreach (object item in itemList)
    {
        ws.Cell("A" + row.ToString()).Value = item.ToString();
        row++;
    }

    workbook.SaveAs("yourExcel.xlsx");

If you prefer you can create a System.Data.DataSet or a System.Data.DataTable with all data and then just add it as a workseet with workbook.AddWorksheet(yourDataset) or workbook.AddWorksheet(yourDataTable);
