export gridview have data to pdf failed and file not open

Jul 26 2024 5:49 PM

I work on asp.net I face issue when export grid view have more than 2000 rows it download empty file pdf without data inside .

and when click on file not open and give me file not in correct format or may be damaged with size 22 byte

so How to solve this issue and generate pdf file have more data and open it.

I don't need to use base 64 because it small limit for data until 8000 characters

and data exported will have ore than this limit .

what I try as below :

<div class="form-group col-12">
                                            <button id="btnSave" type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary col-12" onclick="ExportGridViewToPdf();">
                                                <span style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5;">'????? ?????????</span><i class="fas fa-print fa-fw fa-2x pull-center"></i></button>
                                        </div>
 <div class="mt-2 row">
                    <div class="form-group col-lg-12">
                        <div class="table-responsive">
                            <asp:GridView ID="gvResults" ClientIDMode="Static" runat="server"
                                ShowFooter="false" RowStyle-CssClass="record" CssClass="table table-striped table-hover table-bordered direction gridview-scroll  customCard card-outline-primary"
                                PageSize="5" Width="100%" border="0" CellSpacing="2" CellPadding="0"
                                AutoGenerateColumns="false">
                                <RowStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" CssClass="record " />

                                <HeaderStyle CssClass="table-info text-center" />

                            </asp:GridView>
                        </div>

                columns.push($(this).text());
            });
        } else {
