Export Table

.NET library to export a list of objects to Excel (xlsx), HTML table or CSV.

Export to Excel

customers.ToTable(showHeader: true)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.Id)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.FirstName)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.LastName)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.DateOfBirth, format: "mm/yyyy")
    .GenerateSpreadsheet("customers.xlsx")

Export to HTML

customers.ToTable(showHeader: true)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.Id)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.FirstName)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.LastName)
    .GenerateHtmlTable("customers.html") // Generate file
    .GenerateHtmlTable()                 // return string
    .GenerateHtmlTable(textWriter)       // write to stream

Export to CSV

customers.ToTable(showHeader: true)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.Id)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.FirstName)
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.LastName)
    .GenerateCsv("customers.csv") // Generate file
    .GenerateCsv()                // return string
    .GenerateCsv(textWriter)      // write to stream

Bounded / Unbounded Columns

customers.ToTable(showHeader: true)
    // Bounded
    .AddColumn(customer => customer.Id, title: "Identifier")
    // Unbounded
    .AddColumn(title: "Full Name", select: customer => customer.FirstName + " " + customer.LastName)

Others

Bounded columns automatically find display information such as column title or format from DataAnnotations :

public class Customer
{
    [Display(Name = "Identifier")]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    [DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = true, NullDisplayText = "<Not provided>")]
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:MM/yyyy}")]
    public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public bool EmailConfirmed { get; set; }
}
