Hello,
My task is to create a .csv file using XSLT. Does anyone have some
experience with doing this with C# 2.0?
My ASP.NET 2.0 application will get a DataTable object and stream a .CSV
file to the user. I understand, XSLT would be the smarter way of doing this.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance
Smith
 
Hello Smith,

XSLT only complicate this, just write from DataSet to CSV directly

Hi Michael,
The code is great. But i have the following question. How would i stream the
output directly to the client 's browser?

Many thanks in advance

This line
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(Server.MapPath("~/GridData.txt"),
false);
creates a StreamWriter over a file, then that StreamWriter instance sw
is used in the code.
You want to write to the Page.Response respectively its Output so doing
TextWriter sw = Page.Response.Output;
should suffice.
You should also set Response.ContentType to the MIME type for CSV before
you send anything to the client.
 
Hi Smith,

If I could get your email I can send you a zip file with a complete sample,
with compression. I just did this last a couple of weeks ago. email me
privately if you wish.
