Creating PDF using iTextSharp and Savedialog

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have written the following in a Windows C# application on the on_click event of a button:

C#

using System.IO;
using iTextSharp;
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;


Document myDocument = new Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4, 10, 10, 42, 35);

PdfWriter.GetInstance(myDocument, new FileStream("C:\\IngenicoDetails", FileMode.Create));
myDocument.Open();
myDocument.Add(new Paragraph("ID:" + TextBox1.Text));

myDocument.Close();

How can I use a savedialog to specify the path and the filename, instead of hardcoding the Path and Filename?

Thanx

Solution 1

Try this:

C#

SaveFileDialog dlg = new SaveFileDialog();
dlg.Filter = "PDF Files|*.pdf";
dlg.FilterIndex = 0;

string  fileName = string.Empty;

if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
    fileName = dlg.FileName;
}

NOTE: Include the System.IO namespace;
