Hi i am using EPPlus to create xslx file with some data dump. It is working perfectly on local machine as well as on web server for small amount of data.

But i have a case where i have 40,000 rows in dataset. It is again working perfectly on local machine.

but on server it is creating file and when i am trying to open that file it it showing error that file is corrupted. I tried editing file with notepad and noticed that it have HTML content in it.

i am using this code: 

public static void CreateExcel(string file_Name, DataSet ds)
{
    //  rowsPerSheet  = 50000; 
    string msg = "";
    string Type = "";
    using (ExcelPackage pck = new ExcelPackage()) {
        //Create the worksheet
        ExcelWorksheet ws = default(ExcelWorksheet);
        int clCnt = 1;



        foreach (DataTable tbl in ds.Tables) {
            ws = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add(tbl.TableName);

            //Load the datatable into the sheet, starting from cell A1. Print the column names on row 1
            ws.Cells("A1").LoadFromDataTable(tbl, true);

            if (tbl.Rows.Count != 0) {
                clCnt = 1;
                foreach (DataColumn col in tbl.Columns) {
                    ws.Column(clCnt).AutoFit();
                    // format all dates in german format (adjust accordingly)
                    if (col.DataType.Equals(typeof(System.DateTime))) {
                        dynamic colNumber = col.Ordinal + 1;
                        ExcelRange range = ws.Cells(2, colNumber, tbl.Rows.Count + 1, colNumber);
                        range.Style.Numberformat.Format = "MM/dd/yyyy";
                    }
                    if (col.DataType.Equals(typeof(System.Decimal)) || col.DataType.Equals(typeof(System.Double))) {
                        dynamic colNumber = col.Ordinal + 1;
                        ExcelRange range = ws.Cells(2, colNumber, tbl.Rows.Count + 1, colNumber);
                        range.Style.Numberformat.Format = "0.00";
                    }
                    clCnt += 1;
                }
            }
        }

        file_Name = file_Name.Replace(" ", "_") + ".xlsx";


        HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;  filename=" + file_Name + "");

        HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(pck.GetAsByteArray());
        HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
    }


}

}

EDIT: Now i got the exact error:

Now I got your problem. I think this is due to write permission issue on the server. Generally ASP.net user doesnt have write permission outside the Application folder. Here are two link might help you.

  1. Unable to create mutex. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131464)
  2. IsolatedStorageException: Unable to create the store directory

Hope this help you.

I think there is a design issue in your page. At least, the quick fix is to add this before your write the document to the Response.

HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();

When you have the response in the output, it means it tries to render a page and in it, you try to do something else, in this case writing the file. (See How can I return a pdf from a web request in ASP.NET? as an example).

We have to see more of your code to check this completely, but I guess you don't use a HttpHandler for this which I would recommend.

public class DownloadFileHandler : IHttpHandler
{
    public bool IsReusable
    {
        get { return true; }
    }

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        Response.BinaryWrite(...);
    }
}
