Render report in PDF

[David Lozzi]

Howdy,

I have some ASP.Net reports created (datagrids) and now we need to get them
to PDFs. I don't want to create Crystal Reports for these because thats
twice the work. How can I change an existing page into a PDF? Its more than
just

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"

There's something about binary and streaming, but I can't figure out how to
get my page into it. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks
David Lozzi

Perhaps this free PDF code will also be of use to you:

What about it? Are you expecting some kind of magic that requires no effort
on your part?

Steve's answer should have solved your problem.

ASP.NET has no idea what a PDF file is, and therefore cannot magically
render a PDF file!

You will have to use a third party component (such as Crystal Reports,
iText, or other) to render the PDF file from your data.

Thank you. I've already begun the crystal reports.

Thank you to all.
