Question

I tried using the Microsoft ReportingControls but found them overly cumbersome, with too little documentation. I’d like a simple control that would convert a GridView control into a PDF document. I’ve started looking into PDFSHarp and am running into dead ends with documentation. Same thing with iTextSharp. I’m willing to dig into them further if they have worked for others in the past.

Answer 1

You could iterate over the data in your gridview and write it to a PDF table using iTextSharp. Have a look here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/iTextSharpPdfTables.aspx

I also recommend getting the book iText In Action.
