What may be done to enhance Excel exporting performance in ASP.NET Web Forms Grid?
Grid Excel Exporting will slow down while the record count is more. This is because the cells excel will be set to fit based on content given to them. Setting the theme to the excel file also slow down the Excel generation.
Solution:
To improve the performance of the Excel file Exporting, disable the IsAutoFit, IsAutoFitRows and set Theme to ‘none’.
MVC or .Net core Controller:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public void ExportToExcel(string GridModel)
{
ExcelExport exp = new ExcelExport();
var DataSource = OrderRepository.GetAllRecords();
GridProperties obj = ConvertGridObject(GridModel);
//define other properties using GridExcelExport
GridExcelExport gridExport = new GridExcelExport();
gridExport.FileName = "Export.xlsx";
gridExport.Excelversion = ExcelVersion.Excel2010;
/*Disable the Theme; IsAutoFit; IsAutoFitRows*/
gridExport.Theme = "none";
gridExport.IsAutoFit = false;
gridExport.IsAutoFitRows = false;
/*End of Solution*/
exp.Export(obj, DataSource, gridExport);
}
private GridProperties ConvertGridObject(string gridProperty)
{
GridProperties gridProp = new GridProperties();
gridProp = (GridProperties)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(gridProperty, typeof(GridProperties));
return gridProp;
}
}
Asp.Net WebForms Code Behind:
public partial class _Default : Page
{
protected void FlatGrid_ServerExcelExporting(object sender, Syncfusion.JavaScript.Web.GridEventArgs e)
{
ExcelExport exp = new ExcelExport();
//define other properties using GridExcelExport
GridExcelExport gridExport = new GridExcelExport();
gridExport.FileName = "Export.xlsx";
gridExport.Excelversion = ExcelVersion.Excel2010;
/*Disable the Theme; IsAutoFit; IsAutoFitRows*/
gridExport.Theme = "none";
gridExport.IsAutoFit = false;
gridExport.IsAutoFitRows = false;
/*End of Solution*/
exp.Export(FlatGrid.Model, (IEnumerable)FlatGrid.DataSource, gridExport);
}
}

A new version of Essential Studio for ASP.NET is available. Versions prior to the release of Essential Studio 2014, Volume 2 will now be referred to as a classic versions.The new ASP.NET suite is powered by Essential Studio for JavaScript providing client-side rendering of HTML 5-JavaScript controls, offering better performance, and better support for touch interactivity.
