Hi Ryan,

Thanks very much for the help!

I pasted your second block of code below the first (as described in my previous email).

Here's what I got:

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'StringWriter' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Error 2 The type or namespace name 'TextWriter' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) 

Error 3 The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter.HtmlTextWriter(System.IO.TextWriter)' has some invalid arguments

Error 4 Argument '1': cannot convert from 'StringWriter' to 'System.IO.TextWriter' 

Error 5 The best overloaded method match for 'ASP.xportxl_aspx.ExportGridView(System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView, string, ASP.xportxl_aspx.ExportType)' has some invalid arguments 

Error 6 Argument '1': cannot convert from 'string' to 'ASP.xportxl_aspx.ExportType' 

Error 7 Argument '3': cannot convert from 'string' to  c:\inetpub\wwwroot\intranet\XportXL.aspx 128 49

I tried adding various using directives (System, System.IO) at the start of the Script block, without any joy.  I'm too new at this to know what to do and where to do it!

Please confirm/correct what I've done in VWD Express:

Thanks very much, Ryan - I hope that you aren;t kicking yourself for responding to my email!

Regards

Gary
