You are setting the button visibility to false on postback, but in the same request you clear the response and output your Excel data. So the control tree with the invisible button never makes it back to the client.

I am guessing you want to do this in order to hide the button from the user while you are generating the Excel. If this is the case, your best bet is to use client-side javascript to hide the button.

You could insert this javascript in the button's OnClientClick property:

document.getElementById('<%=btnexport.ClientID%>').style.display = none;
