object cellText = null;

// Write contents for each cell
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
{

colIndex = 0;
fs.WriteLine(" <ss:Row>");
foreach (DataColumn dc in dt.Columns)
{
cellText = dr[dc];
// Check for null cell and change it to empty to avoid error
if (cellText == null ) cellText = "";
fs.WriteLine(string.Format(" <ss:Cell ss:StyleID=\"2\">" +
"<ss:Data ss:Type=\"String\">{0}</ss:Data></ss:Cell>", cellText));
colIndex = colIndex + 1;
}
fs.WriteLine(" </ss:Row>");
}

fs.WriteLine(" <ss:Row>");
fs.WriteLine(" </ss:Row>");

// Close up the document
fs.WriteLine(" </ss:Table>");
fs.WriteLine("</ss:Worksheet>");
fs.WriteLine("</ss:Workbook>");
fs.Close();
}

Example:
exportDataTableToExcel (GetTable(),"C:\\PatientDetails.xls");
will write the content of data table with Formatting Styles.

Hi,
I ported your code to Objective C to be able to write an xls file with the iPhone SDK. Although in Excel it opens correctly, the problem is that the file can't be opened in the mail preview (or any UIWebView) neither in the app Numbers.
