I am trying to export data in a .csv file. Here, the data is in different languages (arabic, danish,.. etc).. the file can be exported successfully but the data content in the file are being replaced by ? and other symbols. i need to export the data as it is, in the .csv file. i tried with every possible way i found out on web but couldn't export the correct data. Can you please help me out.
Thanks
below is my code.
protected void lnkExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<Entities.Users_Users> lstUsers = new List<Entities.Users_Users>();
lstUsers = BLL.Users_Users.GetDealerUsers(Convert.ToInt16(dealerid));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Clear();
sb.Append("[USERNAME],[PREFIX],[FIRSTNAME],[MIDDLENAME],[LASTNAME],[COMPANYNAME],[JOBTITLE],[CONTACTEMAILID],[USERTYPECODE],[STATUSCODE],[DEALER],[PHONE],[COMPANYLANGUAGE],[ISRECEIVECAMPAIGN],[RECEIVECAMPAIGNEMAILID]");
sb.Append("\r\n");
foreach (Entities.Users_Users UserDetail in lstUsers)
{
sb.Append(UserDetail.UserName + "," + UserDetail.Prefix + "," + UserDetail.FirstName + "," + UserDetail.MiddleName + ",");
sb.Append(UserDetail.LastName + "," + UserDetail.CompanyName + "," + UserDetail.JobTitle + ",");
sb.Append(UserDetail.ContactEmailID + "," + UserDetail.UserTypeCode + "," + UserDetail.StatusCode + ",");
sb.Append(UserDetail.DealerName + "," + UserDetail.Phone + "," + UserDetail.Language + ",");
sb.Append(UserDetail.IsReceiveCampaign + "," + UserDetail.ReceiveCampaignEmailId);
sb.Append("\r\n");
}
UTF8Encoding utf8 = new UTF8Encoding();
var preamble = utf8.GetPreamble();
var data = utf8.GetBytes(sb.ToString());
//string attachment = String.Format("attachment;filename=ExportUsers.csv", "uomEncoded");
// Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
Response.Clear();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ContentType = "text/csv";
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
// Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=ExportUsers.csv");
//Response.Charset = "";
// Response.Charset = encoding.EncodingName;
Response.Write(sb.ToString());
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
}
That is what you probably missing (first line):
