Create data report as .txt file

Create your own Data Report in text file format, No need to use any third party Report writer, Try its very easy....

This bit of code will create a data report as a .txt file, thus eliminating the need for a third-party reporting application. To make it work, you must add a file scripting reference in your project before running this code. In addition, the author notes that this snippet creates a sample report from a generic table, so be sure to set the data fields according to your database.
