{
if(strText == "")
return;

strText = strText.replace( '<b>', '');
strText = strText.replace( '</b>', '');

var chkObj = document.getElementById(chkObj1);
var txtObj = document.getElementById('<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>');
if(chkObj.checked == true) //For Adding Item
{
var iFormFound = 0;
var iTextFound = 0;
iFormFound = txtObj.value.search(strFormName);
if(iFormFound == -1)
{
//If Form Name is Not There Append it
if(txtObj.value.length == 0)
txtObj.value = txtObj.value + strFormName;
else
txtObj.value = txtObj.value + "\n\n" + strFormName;
}

//If Text Not There Append it After Form Name
iTextFound = txtObj.value.search(strText);
if(iTextFound == -1)
{
if(txtObj.value.length == 0)
{
//txtObj.value = strText;
var iIndexOf = txtObj.value.indexOf(strFormName);
iIndexOf = iIndexOf + strFormName.length;
//alert(iIndexOf);
var strBefore = txtObj.value.substr(0,iIndexOf);
var strAfter = txtObj.value.substr(iIndexOf,txtObj.value.length);
txtObj.value = strBefore + strText + strAfter;
//alert(strBefore + " => " + strText + " => " + strAfter + " => " + txtObj.value);
}
else
{
//txtObj.value = txtObj.value + "\n" + strText;

var strAfter = txtObj.value.substr(iIndexOf,txtObj.value.length);
txtObj.value = strBefore + "\n" + strText + strAfter;
//alert(strBefore + " => " + strText + " => " + strAfter + " => " + txtObj.value);
}
}

}
else //For Removing Item

iTextFound = txtObj.value.search(strText);
if(iTextFound != -1)
{
txtObj.value = txtObj.value.replace( strText + "\r\n", '');
//For Last Element (Special Case)
if(txtObj.value.search(strText) != -1)
{
txtObj.value = txtObj.value.replace( strText, '');
txtObj.value = txtObj.value.substr(0,txtObj.value.length - 2);
}
}
}
}

Export datagrid to Excel in asp.net (Revised)

Previously I had Post for Export Datagrid Data to Excel

It was perfectly alright but following Article has added Advantage over the Previous Post.

  • You can able to Hide Few Fields and Display desired fields in Exported Excel Sheet, bydefault all the fields which are displayed in datagrid was displayed in Excel, but let say we want to hide "Edit" and "Delete" field while exporting datagrid data to excel. (Note: You can also use datagrid1.Columns[4].Visible = false;)
  • Format Datagrid Data. Full control over formatting of data as compare to previous method.
  • Replace Control before exporting to excel. eg: Removing Hyperlink, dropdownlist, checkbox and other controls before exporting data to excel.
  • Can Export All data @ once, bydefault you can only export page full of data.

Lets understand by example, consider following datagrid, which contain "Employee Name" and "Email" as Hyperlink, but while exporting data i want Hyperlink from email should be removed.




Utility Code:
It is self explanatory

protected void btnExportToExcel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dtOriginal = new DataTable();
dtOriginal = ReturnTable(); //Return Table consisting data

//Create Tempory Table
DataTable dtTemp = new DataTable();

//Creating Header Row
dtTemp.Columns.Add("<b>Employee Name</b>");
dtTemp.Columns.Add("<b>Email</b>");
dtTemp.Columns.Add("<b>Join Date</b>");
dtTemp.Columns.Add("<b>Salary</b>");
double dSalary;
DateTime dtDate;
DataRow drAddItem;
for (int i = 0; i < dtOriginal.Rows.Count; i++)
{
drAddItem = dtTemp.NewRow();
drAddItem[0] = dtOriginal.Rows[i][0].ToString();//Name
drAddItem[1] = dtOriginal.Rows[i][1].ToString();//Email

//Join Date
dtDate = Convert.ToDateTime(dtOriginal.Rows[i][2].ToString());
drAddItem[2] = dtDate.ToShortDateString();

//Salary
dSalary = Convert.ToDouble(dtOriginal.Rows[i][3].ToString());
drAddItem[3] = dSalary.ToString("C");

dtTemp.Rows.Add(drAddItem);
}

//Temp Grid
DataGrid dg = new DataGrid();
dg.DataSource = dtTemp;
dg.DataBind();
ExportToExcel("BudgeReport.xls", dg);
dg = null;
dg.Dispose();
}

private void ExportToExcel(string strFileName, DataGrid dg)
{
Response.ClearContent();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + strFileName);
Response.ContentType = "application/excel";
System.IO.StringWriter sw = new System.IO.StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
dg.RenderControl(htw);
Response.Write(sw.ToString());
Response.End();
}

Must Know Issue: Basics of String Format in .Net


Numeric Format

double dValue = 55000.54987D;

//displaying number in different formats

Response.Write("Currency Format: " + dValue.ToString("C") + "

);

Response.Write("Scientific Format: " + dValue.ToString("E") + "
"
);

Response.Write("Percentage Format: " + dValue.ToString("P") + "
"
);

/* OUTPUT */

Currency Format: $55,000.55
Scientific Format: 5.500055E+004
Percentage Format: 5,500,054.99 %

Getting Culture Specific String

double dValue = 55000.54987D;

//You can Remove this line

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");

//This line will automatically detect client culture

//and display data accordingly

//Here culture has forcefully changed to german to

//view difference in output

CultureInfo ci = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;

//displaying number in different formats

Response.Write("Currency Format: " + dValue.ToString("C",ci) + "
"
);

Response.Write("Scientific Format: " + dValue.ToString("E",ci) + "
"
);

Response.Write("Percentage Format: " + dValue.ToString("P",ci) + "
"
);
