Export View as PDF in ASP.NET MVC

First, you have to install a package called RazorPDF for MVC through Manage Nuget Packages.

I have created a class called MarksCard.cs,

  1. public class MarksCard  
  2. {  
  3.    public int RollNo { get; set; }  
  4.    public string Subject { get; set; }  
  5.    public int FullMarks { get; set; }  
  6.    public int Obtained { get; set; }  
  7. }  
Now create a HomeController.cs

And add a namespace.
  1. using RazorPDF;  
There are two Action Methods.
  1. public ActionResult Index()  
  2. {  
  3.     var studentMarks = new List < MarksCard > ()  
  4.     {  
  5.         new MarksCard  
  6.         {  
  7.             RollNo = 101, Subject = "C#", FullMarks = 100, Obtained = 90  
  8.         },  
  9.         new MarksCard  
  10.         {  
  11.             RollNo = 102, Subject = "asp.net", FullMarks = 100, Obtained = 80  
  12.         },  
  13.         new MarksCard  
  14.         {  
  15.             RollNo = 103, Subject = "MVC", FullMarks = 100, Obtained = 100  
  16.         },  
  17.         new MarksCard  
  18.         {  
  19.             RollNo = 104, Subject = "SQL Server", FullMarks = 100, Obtained = 75  
  20.         },  
  21.     };  
  22.     return View("Index", studentMarks);  
  23. }  
  24. public ActionResult DownloadPdf()  
  25. {  
  26.     var studentMarks = new List < MarksCard > ()  
  27.     {  
  28.         new MarksCard  
  29.         {  
  30.             RollNo = 101, Subject = "C#", FullMarks = 100, Obtained = 90  
  31.         },  
  32.         new MarksCard  
  33.         {  
  34.             RollNo = 102, Subject = "asp.net", FullMarks = 100, Obtained = 80  
  35.         },  
  36.         new MarksCard  
  37.         {  
  38.             RollNo = 103, Subject = "MVC", FullMarks = 100, Obtained = 100  
  39.         },  
  40.         new MarksCard  
  41.         {  
  42.             RollNo = 104, Subject = "SQL Server", FullMarks = 100, Obtained = 75  
  43.         },  
  44.     };  
  45.     return new PdfResult(studentMarks, "Index");  
  46. }
