Its not working for me.

I tried this code.

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
        Response.Charset = "";
        this.EnableViewState = false;
        System.IO.StringWriter tw = new System.IO.StringWriter();
        System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(tw);
        grdtariff.RenderControl(hw);
        //Response.Clear();
        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=test.pdf");
        //Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
        Response.Write(tw.ToString());
        Response.End();

Pl provide me the working solution.

display error :adobe reader could not open 'test[1].pdf' because it is either not supported file type or because the file has been damaged

Thanks,

Here's a similar code from this link:

http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Export-GridView-with-Images-from-database-to-Word-Excel-and-PDF-Formats.aspx

private void PDF_Export()

{

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",

"attachment;filename=GridViewExport.pdf");

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();

HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);

GridView1.AllowPaging = false;

GridView1.DataBind();

GridView1.RenderControl(hw);

StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());

Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);

HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);

PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);

pdfDoc.Open();

htmlparser.Parse(sr);

pdfDoc.Close();

Response.Write(pdfDoc);

Response.End();

}

The code is similar to yours. What is needed is the iTextSharp library.

Also, the code you have will work for Excel (after making some changes) but I don't think it will work for PDF.
