Hi,

I was wondering if there is any standard way to create PDF files in
ASP.net. I'm currently using a regular ASP application to generate PDF
files, but I'm in the process of converting the website to ASP.net.

Thanks

Frankwin

I am still using an ASP (COM) component to do this in ASP.NET. ASPPdf. I
know it quite well from the classic ASP days, and haven't had time to
properly look at iTextSharp yet.

Yeah I'm currently using ASPPdf too, but it requires installation of a
DLL and my new hosting provider doesn't allow that, so that's why I
was wondering if there was a way to do it in .net without having to
install stuff.

many webhosts accept/use the pdf component from websupergoo.

developer license is free for a link back

http://www.siberix.com is a proper .NET assembly, so no installation
required - just drop it in your \bin folder and you're good to go...

I'm confused. A hosting site doesn't allow you to install a dll?
Aren't third party controls hosted in dlls? The app itself is in a
dll.

I use iTextSharp for this, and the dll just sits in the bin directory
along with the other dlls.

I suppose if you need to install a dll in the GAC or windows directory
then it would be another story.

Indeed.

Quite so - same with Siberix...

In my experience, most 3rd-party add-ins do not *need* to be installed in
the GAC - software authors realise that the vast majority of ISPs either do
not permit this or at least charge for it, so they design their DLLs
accordingly so as not to risk losing lots of sales...
