Export to .txt Gridview without using StringBuilder?

Question

I have gridview with 3 columns.

I generated 1 column with the help of RowDataBound event of Gridview, I want to export .txt file of that Gridview. The text file is also generated but in that Textfile following data is shown:

<div>
<table cellspacing="0"........

..

</table></div>

so how to export .txt in Gridview ?

you will have to use stringbuilder to store data and then convert it to txt Bindgrid(); Response.Clear(); Response.Buffer = true ; Response.AddHeader( content-disposition  attachment;filename=Vithal_Wadje.txt ); Response.Charset =  ; Response.ContentType = application/text ; GridView1.AllowPaging = false ; GridView1.DataBind(); StringBuilder Rowbind = new StringBuilder(); for ( int k = 0; k { Rowbind.Append(GridView1.Columns[k].HeaderText + ' ' ); } Rowbind.Append( 
 ); for ( int i = 0; i { for ( int k = 0; k { Rowbind.Append(GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[k].Text + ' ' ); } Rowbind.Append( 
 ); } Response.Output.Write(Rowbind.ToString()); Response.Flush(); Response.End(); or you can use the DataTable which is used for binding gridview and convert contents of DataTable to txt file. for more details see convert gridview content to txt file using DataTable http://dotnetmentors.com/adonet/convert-datatable-to-csv-or-list-or-json-string.aspx
