   ExporttoExcel(dt,"EmployeeList")
}

 private void ExporttoExcel(DataTable table,string filename)
        {
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
            HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearContent();
            HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearHeaders();
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Buffer = true;
            //  HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel";//2003 format
            HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";

            HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(@");
            //HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=InvoiceList.xls");// 2003 format
            HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="+ filename +".xls");

            HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "utf-8";
            HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1250");
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<font style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Calibri;">");
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<br><br><br>");
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<table border="1" bgcolor="#ffffff" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="2px" cellpadding="2px" style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Calibri; background:white;"> <tr>");

            //  int columnscount = grdInvoice.Columns.Count;

            int columnscount = table.Columns.Count;

            for (int j = 0; j < columnscount; j++)
            {
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<td>");
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("");
                // HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(grdInvoice.Columns[j].HeaderText.ToString());
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(table.Columns[j].ColumnName);
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("");
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("</td>");
            }
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("</tr>");
            foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
            {
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<tr>");
                for (int i = 0; i < table.Columns.Count; i++)
                {
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<td>");
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(row[i].ToString());
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("</td>");
                }

                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("</tr>");

            {
                sheet.Table.Columns.Add(new WorksheetColumn(100));

                }
            }
            // storing Each row and column value to excel sheet 

            for (int i = 1; i <= dgvTasks.Rows.Count; i++)
