Introduction

Generally it is easier to export the data of the database to Excel. We generally have no problems
exporting a small amount of data to Excel but suppose when we have a large amount of data
then we need to export the data depending upon the size. We can set the limit of the data for
insertion into the Excel file.

For an example suppose we have 1000 records in the database table and we need to export all
the data to Excel. We can export 100 records at one time and after exporting the next 100
records are added to the Excel file and it is continues to the end of the table data.

In this article I am creating this scenario and developing a web application. So, let's begin with
the following procedure:

Working with the Database


Creating the Web Application
Run the Application

Working with the Database

In this section, we'll create the database table and create a Stored Procedure and apply SQL
Paging to select the records. Use the following procedure.

Step 1

Create a table in the database with the following code:

01. USE[Sample]
02. GO
03.
04. CREATETABLE[dbo].[UserData](
http://www.csharpcorner.com/uploadfile/4b0136/exportinglargetabledatatoexcelinaspnet/ 1/10
14/03/2016 ExportingLargeTableDatatoExcelinASP.Net
05. [UserID][int]PrimaryKeyIDENTITY(1,1),
06. [Name][varchar](50)NULL,
07. [Email][nvarchar](50)NULL,
08. [City][varchar](50)NULL
09. )

There is a total 4 fields defined in the table named "UserData".

Step 2

Enter records into the table.

Step 3

Create a Stored Procedure to select the data using SQL Paging with the following code:

01. USE[Sample]
02. GO
03.
04. CREATEProcedure[dbo].[SP_GetExcelData]
05.
06. @Cityvarchar(50),
07. @RowsPerPageint,
08. @PageNumberint
09. AS
10.
11. Begin
12. Select*fromUserDatawhereCity=@CityorderbyUserID
13. offset(@PageNumber)RowsFetchNext@RowsPerPageRowsonly
14. End

Step 4

We can also execute this procedure to show the results. Have a look:

Creating Web Application

In this section we will create the web application and export the data to Excel. So, let's begin with
the following procedure.

Step 1

Add an Excel file to the Solution.

http://www.csharpcorner.com/uploadfile/4b0136/exportinglargetabledatatoexcelinaspnet/ 2/10
14/03/2016 ExportingLargeTableDatatoExcelinASP.Net

Step 2

Add a Web Form with the following code:

01. <body>
02. <formid="form1"runat="server">
03. <div>
04. <tablestyle="height:116px;width:283px">
05. <tr>
06. <td><asp:LabelID="LblCityName"runat="server">EnterCityName</asp:Label>
</td>
07. <td><asp:TextBoxID="TxtCityName"runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td>
08. </tr>
09. <tr>
10. <td>
<asp:ButtonID="BtnSubmit"runat="server"Text="Submit"OnClick="BtnSubmit_Click"/></td>
11. <td><asp:LabelID="LblMessage"runat="server"></asp:Label></td>
12. </tr>
13. </table>
14. </div>
15. </form>
16. </body>

So far we have created a web form with a text box in which we can enter the city and fetch the
records that are related to that city.

Step 3

Add the following code to the Web.Config file:

01. <appSettings>
02. <addkey="UserRecord"value="6"/>
03. </appSettings>

In the code above, we have defined the number of records to export at a single time.

Step 4

Add a class named DAL in the solution and replace the code with the following code:

01. usingSystem.Data;
02. usingSystem.Data.SqlClient;
03.
04. namespaceUserWebApp
05. {
06. publicclassDAL
07. {
08. SqlConnectioncon;
09. SqlDataAdapteradap;
10. DataTabledt;
11. publicDAL()
12. {
13. con=newSqlConnection(@"YourConnectionString");
14. }
15.
16. publicDataTableGetData(stringUserCity,intRowsPerPage,intPageNumber)
17. {
18. adap=newSqlDataAdapter("SP_GetExcelData",con);
19. adap.SelectCommand.CommandType=CommandType.StoredProcedure;
20. adap.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@city",SqlDbType.VarChar).Value=UserCity;
21. adap.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@RowsPerPage",SqlDbType.Int).Value=RowsPerPage;
22. adap.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@PageNumber",SqlDbType.Int).Value=PageNumber;
23. dt=newDataTable();
24. adap.Fill(dt);
25. returndt;
http://www.csharpcorner.com/uploadfile/4b0136/exportinglargetabledatatoexcelinaspnet/ 3/10
14/03/2016 ExportingLargeTableDatatoExcelinASP.Net
26. }
27.
28. publicDataTableGetData(stringUserCity)
29. {
30. adap=newSqlDataAdapter("Select*fromUserDatawhereCity='"+UserCity+"'",con);
31. dt=newDataTable();
32. adap.Fill(dt);
33. returndt;
34. }
35. }
36. }

In the code above, we are creating the methods to get the data from the database.

Step 5

In the code behind page, replace the code with the following code:

01. usingSystem;
02. usingSystem.Configuration;
03. usingSystem.Data;
04. usingSystem.IO;
05. usingSystem.Web.UI;
06. usingSystem.Web.UI.WebControls;
07.
08. namespaceUserWebApp
09. {
10. publicpartialclassUserWebForm:System.Web.UI.Page
11. {
12.
13. protectedvoidPage_Load(objectsender,EventArgse)
14. {
15.
16. }
17.
18. protectedvoidBtnSubmit_Click(objectsender,EventArgse)
19. {
20. InsertRecordToExcel();
21. }
22.
23. publicvoidInsertRecordToExcel()
24. {
25. DALObjDal=newDAL();
26. stringrecord=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UserRecord"];
27. stringRecordPageNumber=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PageNumber"];
28. try
29. {
30. intRowsPerPage=Convert.ToInt32(record);
31. intPageNumber=0;
32. stringfilename=Server.MapPath("UserDataSheet");
33. stringCity=TxtCityName.Text;
34. DataTabledt=newDataTable();
35. StringWriterwriter=newStringWriter();
36. HtmlTextWriterhtmlWriter=newHtmlTextWriter(writer);
37. DataTabledt2=newDataTable();
38. dt2=ObjDal.GetData(City);
39. for(inti=0;i<dt2.Rows.Count;i++)
40. {
41. dt=ObjDal.GetData(City,RowsPerPage,PageNumber);
42. GridViewgridView=newGridView();
43. DataTabledtn=newDataTable();
44. gridView.DataSource=dt;
45. gridView.AutoGenerateColumns=true;
46. gridView.ShowHeader=(i==0);
47. gridView.DataBind();
48. gridView.RenderControl(htmlWriter);
49. Response.Clear();
50. Response.AddHeader("content
http://www.csharpcorner.com/uploadfile/4b0136/exportinglargetabledatatoexcelinaspnet/ 4/10

disposition","attachment;filename="+filename+".xls");
51. Response.Charset="";
52. PageNumber=PageNumber+RowsPerPage;
53. i=PageNumber;
54. }
55. htmlWriter.Close();
56. Response.Write(writer.ToString());
57. Response.End();
58. }
59.
60. catch(Exceptionex)
61. {
62. throwex;
63. }
64. }
65. }
66. }

That's it.

Run the Application

Debug the application and enter the city name and click on Submit

You can see that the records are exported to the Excel file.
