First, add the "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" assembly reference in your project. Please make sure your project uses .Net Framework 4.0
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application ExcelApp =
new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
ExcelApp.Application.Workbooks.Add(Type.Missing);
// Change properties of the Workbook
ExcelApp.Columns.ColumnWidth = 20;
// Storing header part in Excel
for (int i = 1; i < dataGridView1.Columns.Count + 1; i++)
{
ExcelApp.Cells[1, i] = dataGridView1.Columns[i - 1].HeaderText;
}
// Storing Each row and column value to excel sheet
for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < dataGridView1.Columns.Count; j++)
{
ExcelApp.Cells[i + 2, j + 1] = dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value.ToString();
}
}
MessageBox.Show("Excel file created , you can find the file D:\\Employee Data.xlsx");
ExcelApp.Visible = true;
ExcelApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs("D:\\Employee Data.xlsx");
ExcelApp.ActiveWorkbook.Saved = true;
Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(ExcelApp);
