For what its worth, I currently generate xcel files for an ignite datagrid using this http://epplus.codeplex.com/

What I do is not so nice as a real exporter, but with a days work you can have the spread sheet and adapt it to other grids as well.

instead,

1. I use code similar to the code that generates the json to populate the grid to populate cells for a spread sheet, and save it on the server.

2. return the path to the file, so the client can download it.  of course you can force the client to open a file too, but I did not.

Hello Tammy,

After looking into the equivalent for the DataPresenterExcelExporter in IgniteUI and doing some research, this control has been determined to be a new product idea.  You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <http://ideas.infragistics.com>.
