Hi guys, I have some issues, saving a HTML content into Excel format. I just populate a StringBuilder and then display it into a WebControl Panel, juzt like this:resultados.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(sb.ToString()));And then I set the ContentType and I add a header to download the content. This is the code:Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Indicador.xls");Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;Response.Charset = "";Response.Write(sb.ToString());The data that I get from the database, which I display into the StringBuilder. Sometimes the whole document get disturbed with strange characteres, like if it wasn´t UTF-8 text.It's very strange and it happened to me a lot of times and I want to know once and for all what is happening.This is one example of the text that causes the whole mess."La tasa está calculada a mitad del período. La etiqueta 1987 representa el período 1987-1992. La etiqueta 1992 representa el período 1992-1997. La etiqueta 1997 representa el período 1997-2002. La etiqueta 2004 representa el período 2004-2009."As you can see, it's spanish and it may be because the accents.If I only take till the second sentences, it doesn't happend, and you can realize that "está" and "período" have accent. Therefore it's not because the accent.Afterwards, I take till the third sentence and everything get into a mess... and I can't find what is happening. There must be some special characteres, that I cannot see? Also de fourth sentence make some noise on the document.¿What is going on with the encoding process?I will really appreciate if you could advise me some how.Thank you in advance.Raul Bolaños. |
