#1 Downloand in History!

This article I authored a couple years ago is now the #1 most downloaded document in dotnetjohn.com’s history! (home page shows the most popular) It’s hosted only at the dotnetjohn.com - one of the most popular .Net developer sites. The tutorial is still relevant today and is a great timesaver for exporting your ASP.Net datagrid objects to Excel.

Many people export DataSets to Excel but that results in odd, poorly presented Excel documents. Exporting DataGrids using a .Net component gives web application developers the ultimate in presentation control, performance, flexibility, and scalability.

New Website

I recently changed from a hand coded CMS to Mambo only to learn Mambo is ridiculously over-bloated. I settled on using WordPress and must admit I’m HIGHLY impressed. It’s not often I’m impressed by LAMP CMS systems (hence I hard coded my own since 2000…). Check out WordPress if you haven’t yet.
