Question

Currently I using ITextSharp for exporting my gridview to pdf. My gridview have an Image file and it’s width will expend to 125% and height also to 125% percent.
My questions are:

• how do i set the image to widht:80px and height:100px.

• after set the image width and height, how to insert it to the gridview?

besides that, after i export the gridview to pdf file, the image will go out of the cell. What is that and how to solve?

See this post in MikesDotnetting. Another post about working with tables in iTextsharp is also there

See a sample code for working with tables

// adding content to iTextSharp Document instance
                PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
                //actual width of table in points
                table.TotalWidth = 500f;
                //fix the absolute width of the table
                table.LockedWidth = true;
                //relative col widths in proportions 
                float[] widths = new float[] { 1f, 2f, 1f };
                table.SetWidths(widths);
                table.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
                //leave a gap before and after the table
                table.SpacingBefore = 20f;
                table.SpacingAfter = 10f;

  //Start Heading
                table.AddCell(new PdfPCell() { BorderColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY, Phrase = new Phrase("No.", new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 8f, Font.BOLD)) });
                table.AddCell(new PdfPCell() { BorderColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY, Phrase = new Phrase("Item Name", new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 8f, Font.BOLD)) });
                table.AddCell(new PdfPCell() { BorderColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY, Phrase = new Phrase("Description", new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 8f, Font.BOLD)) });

// Table content
//Here we can use a loop to add multiple rows
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell() { BorderColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY, Phrase = new Phrase("1", new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 8f, Font.NORMAL)) });
                table.AddCell(new PdfPCell() { BorderColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY, Phrase = new Phrase("Register Book"), new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 8f, Font.NORMAL)) });
                table.AddCell(new PdfPCell() { BorderColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY, Phrase = new Phrase("Used to manage the details"), new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 8f, Font.NORMAL)) });

Here you can see a three column table. For adding multiple rows you can loop the table content part in the code.

Pass the values from code as shown.
