POAdding a DataTable to Dynamic PDF

copied!<p><a href="http://www.dynamicpdf.com/Support/NET_Help_Library_12_07/ceTe.DynamicPDF~ceTe.DynamicPDF.PageElements.Row2.html" rel="nofollow">Dynamic PDF Example</a></p> <p>I want to be able to read in a DataTable in C# and add it to a PDF file. The example shows how to do it one row at a time, but it appears you have to define each row in the table. I have not been able to figure out how to dynamically add the full DataTable to a grid. I have the looping setup, but since I have to add a new row each time it won't work. Example of my attempt found below.</p> <pre><code> DataTable myDT = new DataTable(); myDT = dbAccessObject.GetDTValues();//just filling DataTable // Create a PDF Document Document document = new Document(); // Create a Page and add it to the document Page page = new Page(); document.Pages.Add(page); // add Table to PDF // Create a table Table table = new Table(20, 100, 600, 600); table.Columns.Add(100); table.Columns.Add(100); Row headers = table.Rows.Add(20, Font.Helvetica, 12); string colStr = "name"; string colStr1 = "desc"; headers.Cells.Add(colStr); headers.Cells.Add(colStr1); Row row = table.Rows.Add(20, Font.Helvetica, 12); Row row2 = table.Rows.Add(20, Font.Helvetica, 12); int i, j; i = j = 0; while (i < myDT.Rows.Count) { while(j<myDT.Columns.Count) { row.Cells.Add(myDT.Rows[i][j].ToString());//need a default row here or way to add directly to the table j++;} j = 0; i++;} // Add the table to the page page.Elements.Add(table); // Add a label to the page page.Elements.Add(new Label("New PDF Document", 0, 0, 512, 40, Font.Helvetica, 30, TextAlign.Center)); // Save the PDF document document.DrawToWeb("MyDocument.pdf", true); </code></pre>
