Why isn’t there an included function within ASP.NET development to put an export to Word, Excel, CSV or text control on a web page?
I’ve been using Visual Web Developer Express now for awhile and have churned out a number of websites and pages for clients that are very impressive in my opinion.
I would think it would be to Microsoft’s advantage to make it easy for web developers to export the data presented on a web page in a GridView or other .NET control to an Excel spreadsheet very easily.
I’ve searched for some solutions online and they seem simple enough to a degree. I’m trying to implement them on my projects, but it just brings back the question of why this isn’t a button click event that’s available.
Anyone else think this would be helpful?
Okay, here’s another request for a solution I’m publishing out there for my readers. I’m looking for an application that would allow me to setup virtual environments to use when I’m working onsite with different clients.
For example:
When I login to my computer and select my “Client A” workspace; I see all the needed mapped drives and printers that are located on Client A’s network. Potentially even changing my Start Menu to display the applications I use most for Client A.
If I then go to Client B the next day I choose their “workspace” and see all their mapped drives and directory shares as well as their printers. Without my interface being cluttered with the printers located at other clients that I can’t access.
My business partner said there was an application called Mobile Essentials that used to do this, but I can’t find any details about it now and it probably wouldn’t even work with XP or Vista.
Any suggestions?
Why is it I can’t select multiple “Archive Folders” when trying to manage them in Outlook? The fact that I have to right-click on each of them individually to close them from the view is really annoying for this morning.
Somewhat less annoying, but if possible would eliminate this annoyance is the fact that I can’t rename this archive folders permanently.
I have an archive folder for each client directory of e-mails in Outlook. I archive each of them separately to maintain smaller file sizes and also to manage restoring and viewing archived e-mail when necessary.
If someone has an answer to this please let me know. I’ve blogged about it before here and still no manageable solution for me.
