Response.ClearContent();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename={0}", "Customers.xls"));
Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel";
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
gvdetails.AllowPaging = false;
gvdetails.DataBind();
//Change the Header Row back to white color
gvdetails.HeaderRow.Style.Add("background-color", "#FFFFFF");
//Applying stlye to gridview header cells
for (int i = 0; i < gvdetails.HeaderRow.Cells.Count; i++)
{
gvdetails.HeaderRow.Cells[i].Style.Add("background-color", "#507CD1");
}
int j = 1;
//This loop is used to apply stlye to cells based on particular row
foreach (GridViewRow gvrow in gvdetails.Rows)
{
gvrow.BackColor = Color.White;
if (j <= gvdetails.Rows.Count)
{
if (j % 2 != 0)
{
for (int k = 0; k < gvrow.Cells.Count; k++)
