Append an Image with HtmlTextWriter

Posted 10 January 2011 - 05:50 PM

Trying to insert an image at the beginning of my customized excel output:

BindResultsView(GetQueryResults()); 
            Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Report.xls");
            Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
            Response.Charset = "";

            StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
            HtmlTextWriter htmlWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWriter);

            stringWriter.GetStringBuilder().Append("<B>");
            stringWriter.WriteLine("Employee Report:  ");
            stringWriter.GetStringBuilder().Append("</B>");


Not sure if this can be done, by adding stringWriter.GetStringBuilder().Append("<div>") elements? How would it be done.

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0

I'm fairly sure this just isn't doable using this method. When you export the data to excel using the StringWriter it will create the img link but it won't have a local copy of the actual image to point to.

Might be doable using the excel interop library, but it's a little more complicated to use and I just don't have enough experience with it to be able to tell you that even that would for sure work.
