Exporting blank SRS report to excel does not render the headers

I worked on RS reports for a while and had been confonted with this issue. When the report does not receive any resultset from the datasource it shows up only the header columns in the report manager which is all ok. In our case this particular report was being exported to Excel and strangely the RS did not send anything except a huge textbox with nothing in it.
And our requirement was that the excel spreadsheet should have the header columns even if there was no data. Now I thought of concatenating all the column names and use the NoRows property but that will be exported as 1 column rather than individual columns.

So I found some work-around for that and wrote up an article under SQL Server 2000. Check it out here.

I really didn’t know what to look for in that question. I mean I’m still the same guy with the same life, but something in me changed without even trying. Thanks for it.
