[flexcoders] New technique to Export to Excel, feasible?

[Ramanujam, Pratap]

Hi Flex Coders,

        If I have to copy the contents of a datagrid to an excel sheet,
one way I am aware is 
        copying the contents of the datagrid to the Clipboard and open
an excel sheet 
        and paste the contents. However I was wondering of another
technique where
           
          I have a button called "Export to Excel", which will copy all
the contents 
          of the data grid and pass them as parameters to a WebService
then the webservice 
          can invoke an Excel sheet and paste the contents from
clipboard

          Is this possible to accomplish? If yes, kindly share some gyan
or a Blog where 
          this is explained.

          Thanx in advance.

Pratap
