TableTools Open Exported file

djedjica

Hello! First of, great plugin, thank you very much for contributing. Also, I apologise for my English.
Now, for the question. I'm working with Datatables and TableTools , Server Side, ASP:NET (C#). I get that export is only aplicable on displayed records, is there a way to open exported file after exporting, when everything is done client side?
Also, if I need to do it server side, are there any examples how to do this maybe tutorials or MSDN is my best option?
Thank you in advance! Kind regards!

No - this is not possible. Its a feature that Adobe decided not to include in Flash file exporting, and other than using an entirely different file saving mechanism, there is no way around it.

But it is possible to fill for example excel file with db values and open it after finish, server side, I mean threw c# code?

Generating a file (probably CSV rather than Excel) on the server and getting it to open automatically is perfectly possible, but not anything to do with DataTables - it's all about serving a file with the correct headers. See http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/comment/48055#Comment_48055.
