Well, color me surprised, that a loosely defined systems language has some weird quirks after 50 years in the wild after being deployed to virtually every possible platform, and you have to learn how to live with it if you want your product to interact with host operating system or libraries written in it.

Credit the largest cryogenic vacuum chamber, chamber A, at NASA JSC, Houston. It was upgraded to test at -440K, 11 Kelvin in full vacuum. The sunny side was exposed to sun level temperatures using sun simulated lights. Webb spend 90 days in that environment. In summary, comprehensive testing makes for success.
Yes, built, tested and launched by some very good human engineers.

That's a documentary I would love to see. I really hope there are some behind the scenes for this feat.

My application(C#/WinForm) generated a report in datagridview. now I want to output this report into a printable file.
what is the best format to output my report?
of course PDF is one option, but it is not free.
try to get some inputs from gurus here.

There's always HTML, you just have to handle the page breaks.

Don't "output this report into a printable file". Output as XML and allow the user to transform it as desired --

PDF is a pain to work with.
Apparently, it's an industry standard, but no standard libraries exist and no one can actually work with it.
As you say, most PDF libraries are not free (and often very expensive, way too expensive for your one off report).
There is HTML-to-PDF, but in my experience, that's a PITA.
HTML simply wasn't made to put things on A4 format.
So I've tried some stuff and ended up with PDFsharp & MigraDoc[^].
It has most features you'd want in a PDF generator and it's free.
One option I'm missing is that of signing a PDF, which would be awesome.
It worked for me, but use at your own risk, obviously

thanks for this great link! I will use this package!
one more question: what is the difference between PDFsharp and MigraDoc?
it seems like both can create PDF files.

I believe PDFsharp is the engine and MigraDoc is an (optional) layer on top of it to make things easier: What is PDFsharp and MigraDoc?[^]
The NuGet package I use is PDFsharp-MigraDoc and it has everything I need
