Using itextsharp to generate pdf from asp.net

Hi,

I just started reading on http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/index.html and it seems like brillant.

I would just like to know, has anyone worked in exporting a datagrid in pdf format.

My objective is to pick a datagrid up and convert that into pdf format

I really appreciate the time and efforts put to help programmers by these newsgroups, they are really great

Thank Yo

Yes, we have a guy at our company experimenting with this product now. So far from what I've been hearing from him is that it's really good. Best of all it's in process dll that can be easily used with .NET

I don't think it can convert datagrid as it is though. But it does convert html files into pdf. So you probably have to convert an html page with the datagrid in it

HtmlParser.Parse does NOT throw any error , but the pdf file generated from this could be blank/empty.

Debug output shows the messages from parser, if Html file has invalid structure.


The post of Creating pdf in .NET from html (http://geekswithblogs.net/casualjim/...43.aspx#393262) has a lot of interesting comments,

including suggestion to use HTML Agility Pack.
