Hi:

I just noticed that your pdf control can be used for asp.net, I am using framework 3.5 .

Do you have a small example of creating a pdf on the web.

I would like to use the render output of a gridview or datagrid saved as a string, and then open it for printing.

Anything similiar would be a great help.

Thanks

Len

Yes, C1PdfDocument as well as C1PrintDocument can be used in ASP.NET to generate PDFs.  But I believe rendering text from Html is still on the todo list with C1PrintDocument and not possible with C1PdfDocument.

With C1PrintDocument you can easily render tables of data and export this to PDF.  but you'd have to loop through each cell and apply your styles manually.  I have a sample that shows this using C1WebGrid.

hope it helps,

That's about what I needed and in vb too!

Would you happen to have a sample of using the printpreview to give the user a choice between Pdf,excel,and word(rtf) kind of like the report export functions?

Thanks

Len

You mean C1PrintDocument?  You can also export to XLS or RTF using the same technique as that sample. All you have to change is the file extension because C1PrintDocument supports these other formats as well.  But you'll notice the page headers work differently in each file format.  So you may have to play around with that depending on what you want.  I don't have samples for that.

Greg
