Q:

C# export to excel from sql server

In my C# windows application, I am exporting sql server data to excel on remote drive. But it is too slow.
However, if I export data to excel in the local drive, it is fast.
How can I increase the time if I want to export data to remote drive?
Thanks in advance...

A:

Export to a temp folder on the local machine, copy it to the network and then delete the file from the temp folder. You could even do the copy and delete on a separate thread so the UI's not blocked.
