  Great example, thanks.  Just a friendly fyi, for those of you fully implementing this in Silverlight and will have no buttons on the HTML side, add an iframe on your in your host aspx page, to another .aspx page (download.aspx).  Then using javascript, pass a query string to the download.aspx page (which will be in the iframe) with the report name. In your download.aspx file, send the filestream on page load.  This is a nice streamlined solution.

  I need this to be in my silverlight app itself not in the surrounding html.
  
  Is there a way I can add a silverlight button to one of my pages and have it perform this functionality?  And is there a way to get the export to include all my data not just the current page of data?
  
  Can you post a sample of this usage incorporated into a silverlight app rather than outside of it?

  The ToCsv() does not work in 2010 Q2 Silverlight release, while ToExcelML() and ToHtml() work just fine. So if the others work and one doesn't and they are operating on the same data then looks like a bug in GridViewExportWriter.RenderDataCells method.
  
  ToCsv() throws the following exception:
  

  System.NullReferenceException occurred

    Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
