ViewState

[SA]

hi
I am using the viewstate of a dynamically created Datagrid ( columns
are created dynamically and bound to a dataset) to export to excel.
basically i am changing the response content to excel and the data
gets transferred to excel correctly. Now there are certain rows in the
datagrid that are bold ( and of a different font) but the data that
was transferred into excel doesn't maintain the style as it was in the
grid. any suggestions on how i can get the data from viewstate to
excel without requerying the database or is it that the viewstate
doesn't hold formatting information for each cell of the datagrid?.

thanks
SA
