Download Webgrid Data in a PDF file with MVC 5

In previous article I explained display data In webgrid and delete multiple rows by using checkboxes. Now i will explain how to download that data in a pdf file.

So first check previous article and add Action Link in list.cshtml for Create PDF.

Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on References > Manage NuGet Packages...> Search with itextsharp text > Install this 2 dll.

Now Add CreatePdf Action into Home Controller and also add following namespace.

Now Add CreatePdf Action code.

RUN APPLICATION(CTTL + F5).

Click on Create PDF. and get PDF.

Thank you it seemed to have worked. If I want to add a company logo on the top left of the page, is this possible?

Hello Rivesh, you need replace this line "string exportData = String.Format("{0}{1}", "", gridHtml);" with this "string exportData = String.Format("<html><head>{0}</head><body>{1}</body></html>", "<style>table td,th{ border: 1px solid; border-collapse: separate}</style>" , gridHtml);"
