hi all! i have a program which displays the data from my database to my listview and saves it to excel. now my problem is that the column name is not included in the saved excel file. here is my code.
for save button

 Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim saveFileDialog1 As New SaveFileDialog
        saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Excel File|*.xlsx"
        saveFileDialog1.Title = "Save an Excel File"
        saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
        If saveFileDialog1.FileName <> "" Then
            saveExcelFile(saveFileDialog1.FileName)
        End If
        MessageBox.Show("Record Saved!")
    End Sub

for the function saveexcelfile

Public Sub saveExcelFile(ByVal FileName As String)
        Dim xls As New Excel.Application
        Dim sheet As Excel.Worksheet
        xls.Workbooks.Add()
        sheet = xls.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
        Dim row As Integer = 1
        Dim col As Integer = 1
        For Each item As ListViewItem In ListView1.Items
            For i As Integer = 0 To item.SubItems.Count - 1
                sheet.Cells(row, col) = item.SubItems(i).Text
                col = col + 1
            Next
            row += 1
            col = 1
        Next
        xls.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs(FileName)
        xls.Workbooks.Close()
        xls.Quit()
    End Sub

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results.

To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'.

To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page.

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
