This link may help you in the logic to generate .csv file but you have to fit it into your mvc pattern.


protected void ExportToCSV(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Get the data from database into datatable
string strQuery = "select CustomerID, ContactName, City, PostalCode" +
" from customers";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(strQuery);
DataTable dt = GetData(cmd);

Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=DataTable.csv");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = "application/text";


StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int k = 0; k < dt.Columns.Count; k++)
{
//add separator
sb.Append(dt.Columns[k].ColumnName + ',');
}
//append new line
sb.Append("\r\n");
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
for (int k = 0; k < dt.Columns.Count; k++)
{
//add separator
sb.Append(dt.Rows[i][k].ToString().Replace(",", ";") + ',');
}
//append new line
sb.Append("\r\n");
}
Response.Output.Write(sb.ToString());
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
}
