[c#] Export DataTable to Excel with Open Xml SDK in c#

I wrote this quick example. It works for me. I only tested it with one dataset with one table inside, but I guess that may be enough for you.

Take into consideration that I treated all cells as String (not even SharedStrings). If you want to use SharedStrings you might need to tweak my sample a bit.

Edit: To make this work it is necessary to add WindowsBase and DocumentFormat.OpenXml references to project.

Enjoy,

private void ExportDataSet(DataSet ds, string destination)
        {
            using (var workbook = SpreadsheetDocument.Create(destination, DocumentFormat.OpenXml.SpreadsheetDocumentType.Workbook))

                var workbookPart = workbook.AddWorkbookPart();

                workbook.WorkbookPart.Workbook = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Workbook();

                workbook.WorkbookPart.Workbook.Sheets = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Sheets();

                foreach (System.Data.DataTable table in ds.Tables) {

                    var sheetPart = workbook.WorkbookPart.AddNewPart<WorksheetPart>();
                    var sheetData = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.SheetData();

                        foreach (String col in columns)
