Export the contents of a Webform to a Text File

Question

Hi,

 

I want to export the contents of a Web From to a Text file. I have three text boxes and a Grid View. I want to export these contents to a text file in a proper formatted manner. I have used the following code for the purpose: -

 

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Employee.txt");

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

Response.ContentType = "application/text";

StringWriter SW = new StringWriter();

HtmlTextWriter txtWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(SW);

HtmlForm frm = new HtmlForm();

GridView1.Parent.Controls.Add(frm);

frm.Attributes["runat"] = "server";

frm.Controls.Add(txtUName);

frm.Controls.Add(txtEmail);

frm.Controls.Add(txtCity);

frm.Controls.Add(GridView1);

frm.RenderControl(txtWriter);

Response.Write(SW.ToString());

Response.End();

}

 

This code is working fine but is returning data in HTML format. So, kindly help me out in this regard.
