I found an article telling me how to do it:
http://gridviewguy.com/ArticleDetails.aspx?articleID=86

... but I just can't make it work. I think my biggest problem is that I am not sure how to override the rendering method as they indicate there. Not sure where to add that line and how to convert it to vb.net.

background... I have a Data Adaptar (created in code) that is populating a dataset that is then bind to the GridView... I want to add a button that I will allow the user to click and create an Excel spreadsheet with the same contents of the GridView

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
