Why Export Listview to CSV?

CSV file (Comma Separated Values, sometimes also called Comma Delimited) is a specially formatted plain text file which stores spreadsheet or basic database-style information in a very simple format, with one record on each line, and each field within that record separated by a comma. It is often used to exchange data between disparate applications. CSV has become a pseudo standard throughout the industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms because it is used in Microsoft Excel.

CSV files are often used as a simple way to transfer a large volume of spreadsheet or database information between programs, without worrying about special file types. For example, transferring a home-made address book from Excel into a database program such as Filemaker Pro could be done by exporting the file as a CSV from Excel, then importing that CSV into File maker.

Why Export Listview to Office OpenXML?

Office OpenXML has its own advantages. Office OpenXML, or Extensible Markup Language is a set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form. The real power of Office OpenXML comes from the fact that with Office OpenXML, not only can you define your own set of tags, but the rules specified by those tags need not be limited to formatting rules. And the most benefit of Office OpenXML is that because you are writing your own markup language, you are not restricted to a limited set of tags defined by proprietary vendors. Furthermore, Office OpenXML allows you to define all sorts of tags with all sorts of rules, such as tags representing business rules or tags representing data description or data relationships.

Export Data from Listview to RTF

Why Export Listview to RTF?

RTF (Rich Text Format) is one of three core file formats which Microsoft supports natively along with DOC and DOCX. It's a cross-platform file extension supported by almost all word processors regardless of operating system. RTF word processing files are typically smaller, safer and can be used across a variety of operating systems. Main advantages of RTF:

  • File Transparency
  • The ability mentioned above of RTF files to be read by the receiver regardless of the type of word processor or its version or the operating system being used. While in some cases this may be the most essential requirement.
  • No Risk of Viruses
  • Unlike Word .doc files, RTF files cannot contain the numerous "macro" and other viruses that plague Microsoft Word documents. Many business and other e-mail servers refuse to accept e-mailed "attachments" which are in .doc format because of all the viruses that may be carried by Word .doc files. However, they will accept the same document in RTF, since the RTF file cannot transmit viruses. This security against the risk of virus infection applies regardless of whether your document would be conveyed via diskette, e-mail attachment, or as an archived web file.
  • Smaller File Size for Text Documents
  • For having greater disk storage capacity, this may sometimes be an advantage.
