Generate PDF and/or RTF file from the DataSetAll,
Do we have some service/app/control to generate in our WebApplication the downloadable RTF/PDF file. The original data can be provided in the DataSet or DataView, plus some text like header, footer... Thanks, Just D. There is nothing built into ASP.NET that will help you generate RTF or PDF
files. There is some free code out there if you search for it but it is very complex. I'd suggest looking into a 3rd party component that handles this for you.

this.. Hi,
Maybe so, but the controls appeared in the VS 2005 only. In 2000 it's very limited. Regarding the Crystal Reports, maybe it's not so bad, I actually tried to add a report to my WebApp, but it requires a connection to the database and wants to generate something itself regardless of my own DataSets added to the codebehind. I just wanted to use my own generated DataSets to generate some kind of report as RTF and/or PDF. Just D.

as they one you've described. I suggest you look into using this free ASP.NET compatible PDF code: http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=5588085e-3d0b-4db8-8a88-603ef212d0db Show quote "Just D." wrote: > Hi, > > Maybe so, but the controls appeared in the VS 2005 only.
