How to specify the columns to export when exporting GridView data to Excel?

To export GridView data to Excel by specifying columns, the following steps can be used:

1. Create a new Excel file and specify the columns to export.
2. Iterate through the rows of the GridView, for each row, get the data from the specified column and write it to the corresponding position in the Excel file.
3. Finally, save and close the Excel file.

Here is a sample code demonstrating how to export data from a GridView to Excel, specifying only the columns to export:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.IO;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

protected void ExportToExcel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // 创建一个新的Excel文件
    Application excelApp = new Application();
    Workbook excelWorkbook = excelApp.Workbooks.Add(Type.Missing);
    Worksheet excelWorksheet = excelWorkbook.ActiveSheet;

    // 获取要导出的列的索引
    int[] selectedColumns = { 0, 2, 3 }; // 这里假设要导出第一、三、四列

    // 写入列标题
    for (int i = 0; i < selectedColumns.Length; i++)
    {
        excelWorksheet.Cells[1, i + 1] = GridView1.Columns[selectedColumns[i]].HeaderText;
    }

    // 写入行数据
    for (int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < GridView1.Rows.Count; rowIndex++)
    {
        for (int colIndex = 0; colIndex < selectedColumns.Length; colIndex++)
        {
            excelWorksheet.Cells[rowIndex + 2, colIndex + 1] = GridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[selectedColumns[colIndex]].Text;
        }
    }

    // 保存Excel文件
    string fileName = "GridViewData.xlsx";
    string filePath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/ExportFiles/"), fileName);
    excelWorkbook.SaveAs(filePath);
    excelWorkbook.Close();
    excelApp.Quit();

    // 下载Excel文件
    Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
    Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
    Response.TransmitFile(filePath);
    Response.End();
}

Please note that this example utilizes the Microsoft Office Interop library, so you will need to reference the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel assembly in your project in order to use it. Additionally, you will need to have Excel installed on the server as this library relies on the Excel application.

Additionally, you may also consider utilizing third-party libraries such as EPPlus or ClosedXML, which offer simpler and more flexible ways to export data to Excel.
