using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using iTextSharp.text.html;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
using System.Net;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HtmlForm form = new HtmlForm();
        form.Controls.Add(GridView1);
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        HtmlTextWriter hTextWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
        form.Controls[0].RenderControl(hTextWriter);
        string html = sw.ToString();
        Document Doc = new Document();
               
        //PdfWriter.GetInstance
        //(Doc, new FileStream(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath
        //+ "\\VishalRane.pdf", FileMode.Create));

        PdfWriter.GetInstance(Doc, new FileStream(Environment.GetFolderPath
        (Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)+ "\\VishalRane.pdf", FileMode.Create));
        Doc.Open();
       
        Chunk c = new Chunk("Export GridView to PDF Using iTextSharp \n",FontFactory.GetFont("Verdana", 15));
        Paragraph p = new Paragraph();
        p.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
        p.Add(c);
        Chunk chunk1 = new Chunk("By Vishal RANE, vishalrane50@gmail.com \n",FontFactory.GetFont("Verdana", 8));
        Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
        p1.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
        p1.Add(chunk1);
            
        Doc.Add(p);
        Doc.Add(p1);
               
        System.Xml.XmlTextReader xmlReader =
        new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(new StringReader(html));
        HtmlParser.Parse(Doc, xmlReader);
       
        Doc.Close();
        string Path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)+ "\\VishalRane.pdf";
       
       
       
        ShowPdf(Path);
