Create Excel Output

I successfully use the code below to output a report to a web page or to a
PDF file (which opens in Acrobat Reader) but when I try to create an Excel
file, it looks like the result is the binary for an Excel file being
displayed in a HTML page. Where can I get informarion on how to modify the
render method settings to create an Excel file and open it in Excel? I've
tried Googling variations of "render" but am not finding what I need.

============================ Dim strRenderType As String = Session("RenderType")
Dim rs1 As New myAccount.rs.ReportingService
rs1.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("myRSServer", "myPW", "")
Dim results As Byte(), image As Byte()
Dim streamids As String(), streamid As String
' Render the report to HTML4.0
results = rs1.Render(Session("ReportPath"), strRenderType, _
Nothing,
"<DeviceInfo><StreamRoot>/WebApplication1/</StreamRoot></DeviceInfo>",
Nothing, _
Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, streamids)
Response.BinaryWrite(results)You have to set the content-disposition header for your response to attachment.
Thanks

Thanks for the response but I am not familiar with the content-disposition
header. Where/how do I set that?

I did some Googling and found information about that header. Thanks again
for the pointer.
