        string stOutput = "";

        // Export titles:

        string sHeaders = "";

        for (int j = 0; j < dGV.Columns.Count; j++)

            sHeaders = sHeaders.ToString() + Convert.ToString(dGV.Columns[j].HeaderText) + "\t";

        stOutput += sHeaders + "\r\n";

        // Export data.

        for (int i = 0; i < dGV.RowCount - 1; i++)

        {

            string stLine = "";

            for (int j = 0; j < dGV.Rows[i].Cells.Count; j++)

                stLine = stLine.ToString() + Convert.ToString(dGV.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value) + "\t";

            stOutput += stLine + "\r\n";

        }

        Encoding utf16 = Encoding.GetEncoding(1254);

        byte[] output = utf16.GetBytes(stOutput);

        FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create);

        BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(fs);

        bw.Write(output, 0, output.Length); //write the encoded file
