You can do it in this way:

private void ExportButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  Response.Clear();
  Response.Buffer = true;
  Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
  Response.Charset = "";
  this.EnableViewState = false;
  System.IO.StringWriter oStringWriter = new System.IO.StringWriter();
 System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter oHtmlTextWriter = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(oStringWriter);
  this.ClearControls(dataGrid);
  dataGrid.RenderControl(oHtmlTextWriter);
  Response.Write(oStringWriter.ToString());
  Response.End();
}
