I have a remote, hosted SQL server that I'm interfacing through Earthsoft's Enterprise web portal. I have created a custom report as a dll that includes a excel document as a resource within the dll. How do I go about providing the final product (Excel document with my datatable) to the user? I have my current code snippet below. The error I'm getting indicates it can't find the "C:\GamaRpt" file. I know that the remote server has the ability to write excel documents as several of the standard reports from Earthsoft generate them.

Code:
                               ' get the data
				da.Fill(ds)
				Dim dt As DataTable = ds.Tables(0)
				Dim gamaRpt As Array
				gamaRpt = Global.My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject("BetaGamaRptver6_1")
				Global.My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes _
				("C:\GamaRpt", gamaRpt, False)
				wkb = _excelEngine.Excel.Workbooks.Open("C:\GamaRpt")
				wkb.StandardFont = "Times New Roman"
				Dim xtab As DataTable
				wks = wkb.Worksheets.Item("Report")
				xtab = GenerateTable(dt)
				GenerateSheet(wks, xtab, dt)


				' save the workbook to a stream
				Dim memStream As New System.IO.MemoryStream
				wkb.SaveAs(memStream)

				'Allow enterprise reports to be downloaded to client machine
				'Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
				'Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & "Report.xlsx")
				'wkb.SaveXlsx(ms)
				'memStream.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream)
                                 wkb.Close()

				' create the report output
				Dim reportFileName As String = String.Format("{0}_{1:yyyyMMdd}.xls", Me.Connection.SelectedFacility.Name, Date.Now)
				Me._output = New Output(reportFileName, memStream, "application/vnd.ms-excel")
				Me._message = "Report " & reportFileName & " completed."
 
Update: I am using SyncFusion's XLsIO library. Also, this report will run from the desktop version of Earthsoft EQuIS Pro as long as the user has write access to the C:\ drive.
