How to generate CVS file on button click ?

I had tried three methods. When i write in the page like contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel#ConsignmentSearchData.csv" or contentType="application/octet-stream#record.csv" or contentType="text/csv#filename.csv" it is giing me the code of the page in the cvs file.

if you are using pageblocktable replace it with apex:repeat, also remove pageblock or placeblocksection references if you have any.

Mark it as best answer if it works for you. It helps others.

            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td>

                    </td>
                </tr>
                <apex:repeat value="{!lstEmployeeDetails}" var="varemp" id="rptr">
                     <tr>
                           <td>
                               <apex:outputField id="optlbl_EmployeeID" value="{!varemp.EmployeeID__c}"/>

    // class that shows the data of the employee.
    Public Employeedetail()
    {
        // default constructor
        lstEmployeeDetails =[select EmployeeID__c,EmployeeName__c,Phone_Number__c from EmployeeDetails__c];
    }
public pagereference Download()
     {
        PageReference exdownload = null;

The Above code is giving me the output as dowloading the CSV with page code and contents. I want only content not code.

Try the below. It works.

<apex:page controller="Employeedetail"   cache="true" contentType="text/csv#filename.csv" language="en-US">"Employee ID","Employee Name","Employee Phone Number"
     <apex:repeat value="{!lstEmployeeDetails}" var="con" >
     {!con.Name},{!con.Functional_Area__c},{!con.Max_Pay__c}
                </apex:repeat>           
        </apex:page>
