Export Datagrid to PDF

[Jay]

Is there a FREE way to export a datagrid (or entire page) to a PDF file?
I've heard a lot about Crystal, Reporting Services, etc, however, I need a
FREE method to accomplish this using notepad... don't even have Studio.
Thanks a lot.

Ho my god!
Why don't you:

1. use #develope (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx),
it's an OpenSource (free) IDE for .NET
2. use VC# express (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/) a free IDE from
Microsoft for .NET 2.0
3. use iTextSharp (http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net) for your PDF?

Thank but what do any of these tools have to do with exporting to PDF?
Crystal, Repotting Services, etc. still cost money regardless of which tool
I use... might as well be notepad.

So back to my original question... Any idea where I might find a free
component or code to export a datagrid (or entire page) to PDF?

well, actually, number 3 could do more. That it's main problem (a big API).

Yes but if you give 1 or 2 a try you will.. mh.... you might understand why
people think Windows is far superior to Unix ;-)

datatabletopdf.com has a free .NET api that converts .net data to pdf's but you have to live with a one-line disclaimer on the bottom of the pdf.
