Hi everyone,
I m working in asp.net from last 4 months. now i m arrive at the place where there is a need to convert a page from aspx to pdf. I tried using itextsharp but it fires error.

Actually my page contents some value from database that are bind in lables, one dynamic table generated according to the database values (sometimes 2 rows or 5 or more - all the data in table are in string format ) and some static part. Now i want to convert the whole page into pdf. Please help me to do this.

i tried so many codes suggested by the professionals but fail to do work. currently i used following code that fires the error - Input string was not in a correct format.
when converting a stirng to datetime, parse the string to take the date before putting each variable into the Datetime object. i m using below code to convert:

C#

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.pdf");

        Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

iTextSharp.text.Document docc = new iTextSharp.text.Document(PageSize.A4);

        //Render PlaceHolder to temporary stream

        System.IO.StringWriter stringWrite = new StringWriter();

        System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite);

        //PlaceholderPdf.RenderControl(htmlWrite);
        PrintMemo.RenderControl(htmlWrite);

        string strrrr = stringWrite.ToString();
        strrrr = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(strrrr, "", "");

        StringReader reader = new StringReader(stringWrite.ToString());

HTMLWorker parser = new HTMLWorker(docc);

PdfWriter.GetInstance(docc, Response.OutputStream);

        docc.Open();
        parser.Parse(reader);
        docc.Close();

Please help me.

C#

protected void btnExportFromAspxtoPdf_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Write("<script language='javascript'> { self.close() }</script>");
    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=TestPage.pdf");
    Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
    this.Page.RenderControl(hw);

    StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
    Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f);
    HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
    PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);

Use the following code in the Aspx to Pdf conversion button click..

C#

protected void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=TestPage.pdf");
    Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
    this.Page.RenderControl(hw);

    StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
    Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f);
    HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
    PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
    pdfDoc.Open();
