Export ASP.NET GridView To Excel And Preserve Leading Zeros

-
Hi,

There was a question raised on how to export data from ASP.NET Gridview to Microsoft Excel and preserve leading zeros of numeric values. A workaround that we have is to insert an   character before the cell value if that value starts with zero (0). So if the value starts with zero such as 0001, the result would be " 0001". Thus when exported to Excel, the leading zero is kept. 
cell.Text = string.Format(" {0}", cell.Text);
A suggested solution is to insert a Tab character ( ) but this fails on some occasions. After doing some research, replacing the tab character with   or   would also fix the issue. 
cell.Text = string.Format(" {0}", cell.Text);
//or
cell.Text = string.Format(" {0}", cell.Text);

Here's an example of a WPF CRUD (Create,Update and Delete) project using the DataGrid control, ADO.NET Entity Framework 6.x, C#.NET and Model–View–Viewmodel(MVVM) architectural pattern.

How To Insert Or Add Emojis In Microsoft Teams Status Message

Good day Gents! I was trying to update my Microsoft Teams status and was wondering if I can add or insert emoji. For editing or adding new teams status, only text fields are available and there's no emoji icon similar to writing a teams message. After googling for a few minutes, I found this link Emoji's in status which is a feature request in Microsoft Teams User's Voice Forum. So far this upgrade request only has thirty votes which is relatively small and may be considered a low priority for the product team to implement. Given the limitations at hand, I tried several approach including copying an emoji in a chat message which didn't work and later found a solution using Microsoft Outlook 365. First is to create a new email message in Microsoft Outlook and press (Window Key + .). The emoji dropdown control will appear. Next is to select the emoji that you wanted to add to Teams. Copy the emoji from the newly created email message template and paste that to Micr

Pass GUID As Parameter To Action Using ASP.NET MVC ContribGrid

-
Hi, In a scenario where in you want to pass a GUID object to an Action Parameter, the parameter might contain a null value. Since Guid is not nullable, you can't simply just pass it to an action parameter because Action parameters require nullable and reference types. You might encounter an error like this: An optional parameter must be a reference type, a nullable type, or be declared as an optional parameter Assuming you have an aspx view below: <div> <% Html.Grid(Model).Columns (c => { c.For(m => m.Price); c.For(m => m.ProductName); c.For(m => m.ProductID); c.For( "View Person" ).Named( "" ).Action(m => { %> <td> <%= Html.ActionLink( "View Person" , "ProductDetail" , "Home" , new { @id = m.ProductID.ToString() }) %> </td> <% }); %> <% }).Render(); %> </div> and an action
