Q: |
May I obtain a multi-sheets Excel Workbook by means of the "Gridview to Excel Export Tool"? |
|
A: |
Yes, you can! By means of the new interface between the Gridview to Excel Export Tool dll, you can define as many sheets as you like (compatibly with Excel limits).
Each sheet can be fed by its own Sqldatasource or Dataview. You may also use one dataview and provide one different rowfilter for each Excel sheet. |

Q: |
When I run the Execute method of any GEET Class nothing happens. |
|
A: |
In order the Excel sheets to be rendered please verify that
1) you properly did override the VerifyRenderingInServerForm Sub
2) try setting the page attribute EnableEventValidation="false".
In case your page starts working properly again, please verify very carefully that your page's tags are correctly closed.
For instance we have verified that putting a SqlDatasource inside a TD makes the rendering of the GEET classes to fail. |
