No, this generates HTML marked as an Excel file rather than a true Excel file. Yes, Excel itself will open that OK but other programs that consume spreadsheets - including Microsoft's free Excel viewer, for example - won't accept it. You'd do better to create a real Excel file using one of the libraries here.

You should also use System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition to generate the content-disposition header text rather than a string append - that'll cope with filenames that contains spaces etc. correctly.
