can any1 help me on this

From the question, I had never exepected this to be a web application ?!

private void ExportToExcel(string strFileName, GridView dg)
{
    //..         
    string text = oStringWriter.ToString();
    Response.Write(text);

    // OR use Response.WriteBinary() to write a byte[] directly

Of course, this being a web application, the browser is in control. What you have here is a client donwloading a file; it is up to the browser (and the user) to decide where it is stored and whether it will be made writable, or not.

If you want any more control, you need to look at (proprietary) client-side frameworks like Java Applets, Silverlight, Flex.

However, you might reconsider the purpose (why do you want to have this control? are you doing things the wrong way?)

First of all use StreamWriter to write the stream

FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(@"Location+Filename.xls", FileMode.Create);

and further if you want to save it in My Documents Folder You have to use

Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments

For more Info regarding this click

Hope will help..... :-)

Please be clear of where you wish to write. ASP.NET applications are server applications expected to run on a browser of the users' machine. So, the server application CAN NOT directly write to the client's machine. The browser will prompt for a save file dialog. If you wish the sophistication of creating a readonly file, you can create the file in the server side and make it read only and then make it available for download.

SaveFileDialog oDialog = new SaveFileDialog();
oDialog.Filter = "Excel files | *.xls";
if (oDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    string  sFileName = oDialog.FileName;

workbook = app.Workbooks.Add(XlWBATemplate.xlWBATWorksheet);

                    misValue,misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue);
    workbook.Close(misValue, misValue, misValue);
    app.Quit();
}

for (int i = 1; i < dataGridView1.Columns.Count + 1; i++)
{
    worksheet.Cells[1, i] = dataGridView1.Columns[i - 1].HeaderText.ToUpper();
}


for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
    for (int j = 0; j < dataGridView1.Columns.Count; j++)
    {
        worksheet.Cells[i + 2, j + 1] = dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value;
    }
