How to create an excel file and deliver to the screen using C# in a MVC project?

Question

Please send code samples if you can, Thanks!

@AndyC: You need to elaborate. What do you mean "to the screen". Also, what is the minimum format of Excel that must be supported? — casperOne, Apr 08 '09 at 19:11

The Excel 2007 format can be created without Excel, as it's just a zip file containing XML files, I've generated Word 2007 docs before on the fly and served them from a web page without Word installed.

There's an article here on CodeProject

I think you need to 3d-party form control.

I found next topics about this issue:

and much more with tags excel, control, asp.net, etc

I think the best implementation would be non-free Google: excel+reports+asp.net has a number of solutions

If you're not militant about it being "an excel file" and actually mean "A file with some data I have, loaded with excel", then all you have to do is create a .csv and open it programatically with excel. It'll look the same as a 'real' excel file, mostly-kinda.
