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.
