Gridview Export to XML not formatting tags correctly..

  #1  
Oct 23rd, 2008
I have some code which exports the contents of a gridview to XML. The XML is coming out with incorrect field tags:

<tr>
<td>Builder Damage Inspection</td>
<td>request for final BDI inspection. No damage report on pre damage inspection.</td>
<td>2008-07-09 3:13:59 PM</td>
<td>2008-08-13 9:13:48 AM</td>
<td>512135</td>
<td>5450865</td>
<td>CLOSED</td>
</tr>

Here is the code I am using to do the export:
Response.ClearContent()
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=test.xml")
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
Dim oStringWriter As New IO.StringWriter()
Dim oHtmlTextWriter As New HtmlTextWriter(oStringWriter)
GridView1.RenderControl(oHtmlTextWriter)
Response.Write(oStringWriter.ToString)
Response.End()

Am I taking the correct approach with this?

Thanks in advance,

M

What are you wanting then?

Are you wanting the data or gridview to be written?

Also you are using htmltextwriter, which is exporting html.

Thanks for your reply. I would like the data, not the html. Do you have a suggestion on how to export the output of a SQL data source instead?

Use the DataSet.WriteXml method.

Post the code you have where you set the datasource if you are having trouble still.
