Hi Friends,
Today we see how to create excel file with header|column name's through C# coding.
In previous article I explained How to

2. Create Excel Sheet With Header Column through Coding
3. Export Gridview data into excel sheet file through C# coding

Step - 1 :

Visual Studio	-->	File	-->	New	-->	Web Site	-->	Asp.NET Empty Web Site
Project Name : CreateExcelFilewithHeader							--->	Ok

Step - 2 : Add Reference of Excel

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click your project's name and then click Add Reference. The Add Reference dialog box appears.
2. On the Assemblies page, select Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word in the Component Name list, and then hold down the CTRL key and select Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel. If you do not see the assemblies, you may need to ensure they are installed and displayed (see How to: Install Office Primary Interop Assemblies)
3. Click OK.
