C# ListView to PDF

[ProgramForFun]

Greetings

I was testing "Spire.DataExport for .NET" and trying to create a PDF from a ListView in C#. I was able to work my way through the example exporting to Microsoft Excel, however, this didn't work out exporting to PDF format (Export Data from Listview to PDF in C#, VB.NET) because it's required to use the oleDbConnection. Most of the tutorials pretty much work with databases and not so much with a list view.

Are there any working examples to export from a list view into a PDF document for C#?

Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using our component.
According to your requirement, I recommend you to use Spire.Xls component.

Code: Select all

DataTable table = new DataTable();
foreach (ListViewItem item in listView1.Items)
           {
                table.Columns.Add(item.ToString());
                foreach (var it in item.SubItems)
                table.Rows.Add(it.ToString());
            }
Workbook book = new Workbook();
Worksheet sheet = book.Worksheets[0];
sheet.InsertDataTable(table, true, 1, 1);
sheet.Range.BorderAround();
sheet.Range.BorderInside();
book.SaveToFile("result.pdf",FileFormat.PDF);

Sorry for not responding right away, but I didn't get an email that my post was updated. Just selected the "Notify me when a reply is posted" check box.

Thank you very much, but Spire.Xls is overkill for me because I only needed to generate rows and columns with supported information along with page numbering as well as minimal functionality with Excel. Originally, I was using iTextsharp and had a very difficult time trying to add page numbers to the PDF, but recently figured it out.

My interest is in "Spire.DataExport for .NET" working with Excel, PDF files and listViews. As mentioned previously, most of your tutorials are derived around database connectivity and the code that is available for PDF and ListViews doesn't work.

Do you have anything that works with the advertised product "Spire.DataExport" and ListViews?

Hello,

Here are some sample codes for your reference. Hope it is helpful.

Code: Select all

Spire.DataExport.PDF.PDFExport PDFExport = new Spire.DataExport.PDF.PDFExport();
PDFExport.DataSource = Spire.DataExport.Common.ExportSource.ListView;
PDFExport.ListView = this.listView1;
PDFExport.ActionAfterExport = Spire.DataExport.Common.ActionType.OpenView;
PDFExport.SaveToFile("20110223.pdf");
