You should be able to use something like the following (basically,
call a header):
------
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" +
Session["SpecialName"].ToString() + "NameOfExcelSpreadsheet.xls");
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls";
System.IO.StringWriter sw = new System.IO.StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
this.ObjectName.RenderControl(htw);
Response.Write(sw.ToString());
Response.End();
------
I'm not certain this will work in the Report Viewer itself though. You
might need to add a button/etc to accomplish this outside the report
viewer. Hope this helps.
