Microsoft Report Viewer Showing hidden columns on exporting to excel - c#

I'm using Microsoft Report Viewer in an ASP.Net application on the 4.0 framework. I have the report showing fine inside the webpage, but I was recently requested to hide several columns. I found out that through editing the Column Visibility by right clicking on the column in the .RLDC file would allow me to hide it, but I need to be able to show the hidden columns upon Exporting to Excel. As far as I can tell Microsoft Report Viewer exports exactly what it has shown to Excel.
Does anyone know how to access or change the columns properties upon the export to excel click event on Microsoft Report Viewer 2010?

Your best bet is to add your own export functionality.
Set ShowExportButton="False" in the ReportViewer and add a new button in your page that hides the columns and then exports the report to excel.

Is there any way to get repeat page headers in crystal report export excel format?

I have a crystal report to export formats like pdf, csv and excel for student records. When I am trying to export to excel the page header (eg. title, page no, footer) are not repeating for each student in excel , it is working fine in pdf and csv files.
Any solution to repeat page header,page no,footer for each student record using c# asp.net crystal report.
When you export a crystal report to Excel you should get a pop-up that looks like this.
In the middle of this window is an option for "Export page headers and page footers:" and you should be able to control this setting as desired using the drop-down box. Just set it to "On each page" and you should be good to go.
One thing to note, if you are exporting to Excel as "Data-only" the pop-up window for Excel Format Options will be different and will not include the same controls for this feature. When exporting as Data-only there will just be a check box for "Export page header and page footer", and this will only export the page header and footer once for the entire report.
Edit: Here is a link that might help with the API for Excel Format Options on an exported report. Click here to see an example with code.

How to open a report viewed in report viewer in excel without saving it first in VS2010 C#

I am building an application in c# using Visual studio 2010 with access database. I am using reportviewer of visual studio to view the reports which is working fine for me.

I don't know if it is possible or not if it is kindly show me how? I will paste some pictures how it works
Here in the first step you will have to click on the export into one of the three
Then you would need to save the report
After saving, you can than open the report in excel, PDF or word but I would like to skip the second step of saving it and directly open it in excel.
You can handle ReportExport event of ReportViewer and set e.Cancel=true; then using Render method of its LocalReport or ServerReport property, export it to desired location.
ReportViewer - Export report programmatically to a specific location without showing save dialog
save the file in TempFolder ... after it saved , you can open it directly:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(#"YOUR_PATH");

Change the displayed row in crystal reports c#

I have to print a report of a clients details using my c# program. I use a access database to store the client details. I've successfully created and displayed the report on my form in my c# application. Now I'm struggling to change the displayed row for the report. The report automatically chooses the first row in my database. I've created the crystal report without coding, I used the crystal reports visual studio plugin therefore can't paste any code.

Export multiple reports to Excel

I have a c# windows form that opens up a report viewer (using visual studio reports). The first report shown is an overview report displaying various figures split by year. Each year can then be clicked on and a drill through report is opened up passing the date as a parameter where a more detailed view is shown.
Is there a way of exporting this overview report and its drill through reports to one excel workbook with the reports separated as worksheets? I can save each report separately but I need the option of saving them all to one workbook automatically. So the excel file looks essentially the same as it does on the report viewer. I've searched everywhere and not found a clear solution.
Any help is much appreciated.
I don't believe it, u probably will need to write you own xls writer to make it work.

Disable Ms Excel in Report Viewer

hiii,
I am workin on .Net, C sharp. In my ReportViewer, in the Export button, i only need pdf and want to disable MsExcel.
i have made the changes to rsreportserver.config.
Is there anything else i need to do in my aspx page or code behind...
What you want to do is not possible. You cannot hide individual export options. You can only hide the entire export option. However, all is not lost. You can create a button outside the report viewer and then handle the creation of the PDF in code-behind.
