exporting gridview to excel

[Mike P]

I am using the following code to export my gridview to excel :

protected void btnExport_Click (object sender, ImageClickEvent Args e)
{
Response.Clear( );
Response.AddHea der("content-disposition",
"attachment;fil ename=FileName. xls");

Response.Charse t = "";

// If you want the option to open the Excel file without saving
than

// comment out the line below

// Response.Cache. SetCacheability (HttpCacheabili ty.NoCache);

Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/vnd.ms-excel";

System.IO.Strin gWriter stringWrite = new
System.IO.Strin gWriter();

System.Web.UI.H tmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new
HtmlTextWriter( stringWrite);

GridView1.Rende rControl(htmlWr ite);

Response.Write( stringWrite.ToS tring());

Response.End();
}

public override void VerifyRendering InServerForm(Co ntrol control)
{
// Confirms that an HtmlForm control is rendered for the
specified ASP.NET server control at run time.
}

My problem is that I am setting the text values of one of the columns in
the RowDataBound event, and doing so seems to mean that the text for
this column is not exported, whereas if I don't set the text in the
RowDataBound event, the text is exported.

Here is my code for RowDataBound:

switch (Probability.Te xt)
{
case "0.25":
e.Row.Cells[4].Text = "A (25%)";
e.Row.Cells[4].BackColor =
System.Drawing. Color.PowderBlu e;
break;

case "0.5":
e.Row.Cells[4].Text = "B (50%)";
e.Row.Cells[4].BackColor =
System.Drawing. Color.DeepSkyBl ue;
break;

Can anybody help with this?
