使用vb.net将datagrid保存为excel 2003或excel 2007

Question

i can save a datagrid using the vb.net code:

                saveFileDialog.Filter = "Excel2007 (*.xlsx)|*.xlsx|All files (*.*)|*.*"

i wish to give the user the option to save in either Excel2003 or Excel2007 format. What changes do i need to make in the code and what about references and imports? thanks...

Additionally to the adequate extension, you have to provide the Excel version when calling SaveAs() :

curBook.SaveAs("full path with adequate extension", Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookDefault)

You can find the list of values for XlFileFormat here . Although the names in this list are not too descriptive. Here you have a translation:

• 2003 -> Excel.XlFileFormat.xlExcel8 (as explained here )
• 2007 -> Excel.XlFileFormat.xlOpenXMLWorkbook (as explained here )

NOTE: bear in mind that the code above relies on Office Interop .
