Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void ExportXlsToResponse(
    bool saveAsFile
)

VB.NET

Public Sub ExportXlsToResponse(
    saveAsFile As Boolean
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
saveAsFile	Boolean	true to display the Save As dialog; false to display the file with exported data within a page.

Remarks

This method writes files to the response and do not write them to storage (for example, a file system).

If the saveAsFile parameter is set to true, the control invokes the “Save As” dialog. However, a browser settings can disable the grid to show this dialog. For example, the grid does not invoke the “Save As” dialog and automatically downloads a file to the download folder if the “Ask where to save each file before downloading” option is set to false.

If the saveAsFile parameter is set to false, the browser tries to open a file in a new tab. If it fails, the browser invokes the “Save As” dialog (or file downloading).
