Accepted answer
RDLC is the product of Microsoft and comes integrated with .Net IDE like Visual Studio. It is free for use. It is just like crystal report and some other reporting tools. Search it how to use RDLC on C sharp corner it will really help you. It is easy to learn and use. Very light software of approx. 2MB only needed in client machine to view report which is called rdlc reportviewer.

Then you can create report such as rdlc report and export it into the pdf format. See below snippet to know how to generate pdf of a rdlc report.
private void PrintInvoice()
        {
            DataTable dt = InvoiceDAL.GetInvoicePrint(Convert.ToInt64(Request.QueryString["InvoiceId"]));
            DataRow dr = dt.Rows[0];

            LocalReport report = new LocalReport();
            report.ReportPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Reports/InvoicePrint.rdlc");

            Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter[] Param = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter[2];
            Param[0] = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("rpmPartyName", Convert.ToString(dr["CustomerName"]));
            Param[1] = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("rpmInvoiceNo", Convert.ToString(dr["InvoiceId"]));

            report.SetParameters(Param);

            DataTable dtItemDtl = InvoiceDAL.GetInvoiceDtlPrint(Convert.ToInt64(Request.QueryString["InvoiceId"]));
            ReportDataSource dtItemDtlsource = new ReportDataSource("DataSet1", dtItemDtl);

            report.DataSources.Clear();

            report.DataSources.Add(dtItemDtlsource);

            Byte[] mybytes = report.Render("PDF", null, out extension, out encoding, out mimeType, out streams, out warnings);

            Response.Clear();
            Response.ClearHeaders();
            Response.Buffer = true;
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=" + "Invoice_" + Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString["InvoiceId"]) + time + ".pdf");
            Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
            Response.BinaryWrite(mybytes);
            Response.End();
        }
Hope it will help you.

Hello Swamy,
For what you want to generate pdf for example gridview, html page or something else. Please explain so someone can send related code to help you which will be specific for you. Mean while you can check this to generate pdf of gridview data in asp.net using C#.
