The code is also used to force up to 10,000 data records to be output in Excel mode.

        • On Step 4 select No Sorting.
        • On Step 5 select (No Theme).
    1. Add the ToExcelLink Link control above the Grid and set its Default Value property to "Export to Excel", set the Preserve Parameters property to None and the Href Source property to the current page. Then add the Link Parameter with the following values: Data Source Type = Expression, Parameter Source = 1 and Parameter name = export.
    2. Add the appropriate programming code to the Before OnInitializeView Page event and Before Select Grid event., as provided with the example.
