Did you know that using the core of our brand new spreadsheet component you can easily export data to Excel?

What you need actually is reference to:
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Core.dll
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.dll
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.OpenXml.dll
Telerik.Windows.Zip.dll

and simple code for exporting (for example RadGridView):

private static Workbook CreateWorkBook(RadGridView grid)
{
    var workbook = new Workbook();
    var worksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add();
 
    for (var i = 0; i < grid.Items.Count; i++)
    {
        for (var j = 0; j < grid.Columns.Count; j++)
        {
            var boundColumn = grid.Columns[j] as GridViewBoundColumnBase;
            if (boundColumn != null)
            {
                worksheet.Cells[i, j].SetValue(string.Format("{0}", boundColumn.GetValueForItem(grid.Items[i])));
            }
        }
    }
 
    return workbook;
}

For more info about RadSpreadsheet please check our documentation for Silverlight and WPF!

You can also download two identical example applications for Silverlight and WPF.

Enjoy!
