Hi!

I use this code to export the contents og a gridview to MS Excel:

Code:
Protected Sub btnExport_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExport.Click 

Response.Clear()

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.xls") 

Response.Charset = "" 

' If you want the option to open the Excel file without saving than 

' comment out the line below 

' Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); 

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls" 

Dim stringWrite As System.IO.StringWriter = New System.IO.StringWriter() 

Dim htmlWrite As System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter = New HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite) 

GVInsert.RenderControl(htmlWrite)

Response.Write(stringWrite.ToString())

Response.End()

End Sub

This works fine, but my norwegian lettes, æ, ø and å is messed up...

I guess i might have something to do with the charset, but i don't know what...
