For exporting GridView to PDF try using iTextSharp which is a free library for exporting.

Take a look at this article

i already look into this one, before i posted into forum..
i have a problem where my nested grid has expand/collapse images and also want to upload nested grid's into pdf..

If it is single grid UR Posted Link will be fine (in case Grid Doesn't have Images)

Nice article..

Did that help you?

your link did't help me.
I used Expand/Collapse images inside the GridView so it gives an exception..
The link which u given to me will work fine, if the Grid doesn't have any Images, Images are used to Expand and Collapse the Child Grid..

So i tried by Literal Control..
Some sample code..
private string FillLiteral()
{

DataTable dtMain = new DataTable();
dtMain = BusinessLayer.GetAddCartItems(SessionManager.Current.CartID); //SessionManager.Current.CartID
DataTable dtChild = new DataTable();
dtChild= BusinessLayer.GetAllAddCartAccessories();

string htext = "";
htext += " <table border='0' width='100%' style='font-family:Arial;'><tr><td colspan=5 align=center style='font-size:14px;font-color:#FF0000'>Report</td><tr><td colspan=4 align:left> Email :" + SessionManager.Current.Email + "</td><td>Date:"+DateTime.Now.Date.ToString("d") +"</td></tr> </table> <br />";
htext += " <table border='1' style=''font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;'> ";
htext += " <tr><th align=center>DeviceName</th><th align=center>DevicePrice</th><th align=center>PlanName</th><th align=center>PricePlan</th><th align=center>Accessories</th></tr>";

if (dtMain.Rows.Count > 0)
{
foreach (DataRow dr in dtMain.Rows)
{

htext += "<tr>";
htext += "<td align=center>" + dr["devname"] + "</td>";
htext += "<td align=center>" + dr["devprice"] + "</td>";
htext += "<td align=center>" + dr["planname"] + "</td>";
htext += "<td align=center>" + dr["planmoncost"] + "</td>";
htext += "</tr>";
DataRow[] drChild = dtChild.Select("itemid =" + dr["itemid"]);
if (drChild.Count() > 0)
{

htext += "<tr > <td colspan='6'> <table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='margin-left:30px;font-weigh:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;' width=95% > ";
htext += " <tr bgcolor='#dcdcdc'><th align=center>Name</th><th align=center>Qty</th><th align=center>Price</th></tr>";

foreach (DataRow dritem in drChild)
{
htext += "<tr><td align=center>" + dritem["acsoryname"] + "</td>";
htext += " <td align=center>" + dritem["acsoryqty"] + "</td>";
htext += " <td align=center>" + dritem["acsoryprice"] + "</td>";
htext += "</tr>";
}

}

htext += "</table> </td></tr>";
}

}
htext += "</table>";

return htext;

//Literal1.Text = htext;
// FillEmployeeGrid();

}
By using above method the PDF is generated.

Thank u very much for your posts..
