Hi,
I am clueless on how to generate the report in Excel 2000 format. i have
installed reporting services 2000 with service pack 2 in this machine. the
resultant Excel file format is in version 2003. i cant view that in Excel
2000. your feedback is highly appreciated.
Following is my code,
string report = m_ReportNameEXCEL;
string path = m_TargetReportLocation + report;
Byte[] bytes;
string format = "EXCEL";
string historyid = null;
string deviceInfo = null;
ReportServer.ParameterValue[] parameters;
DataSourceCredentials[] credentials = null;
string showhide = null;
string encoding = null;
string mimetype = null;
ParameterValue[] parameterused = null;
Warning[] warnings = null;
string[] streamIDs = null;
-
-
-
bytes = reportService.Render(
path,
format,
historyid,
deviceInfo,
parameters,
credentials,
showhide,
out encoding,
out mimetype,
out parameterused,
out warnings,
out streamIDs);
FileStream fs = File.Create(m_OutputPath + iYear.ToString()+ @."\" +
fileName);
fs.Write(bytes,0,bytes.Length);
fs.Close();
}
Thanks,
PradeepI have just looked it up in a Book. Only Excel 2002 or 2003 is supported. The
Data is rendered into MTHML with Mime Type ms-excel internally and brought to
Excel after that.
BUT: I am also using EXCEL 2000 on my machine and the exported Reports can
be opened without problems... (I have to say that I had Office 2003 on it
before, uninstalled it and installed OIffice 2000, God knows if there are any
DLLs left...?)
Maybe you are using anything inside your Report that needs a newer version?
Did you try a very simple Report?
There is the possibility to create your ow new Export formats. To do this
you have to program a File Rendering Extension. This is quite complex to
realize. You should get a good book to realize that.

in Excel 2000). To make sure the problem isn't your code, open up a report
in report manager and export it to Excel and see if you can open in Excel
2000. Note that when you upgrade to SP1 or SP2 it is both a report designer
upgrade and a RS server upgrade.
