Hi

I'm experiencing a slight problem here. I'm exporting my GridView data into excel, but the first row is usually filled with 2 redundant characters. Please help me have a look at it, is there anything wrong with this piece of code? Thank you!

Dim sw As New StringWriter
        Dim htw As New HtmlTextWriter(sw)

        Me.GridView1.RenderControl(htw)
        Dim strHtml As String = sw.ToString.Trim

        Dim ExcelFileName As String = "New Employee Email Details.xls"
        Dim FilePhysicalPathName = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath
        Dim objectExcelFileName As String = Path.Combine(FilePhysicalPathName, ExcelFileName)
        If File.Exists(objectExcelFileName) Then
            File.Delete(objectExcelFileName)
        End If
        Dim fs As New FileStream(objectExcelFileName, FileMode.Create)
        Dim bw As New BinaryWriter(fs, Encoding.Default)
        bw.Write(strHtml)
        bw.Close()
        fs.Close()
