    copied!<p>I'm currently trying to export gridview to pdf file.</p> <p>My code is:</p> <pre><code>public void GvExportPDF(GridView gvListing, string fileName,int TotalColumns) { http.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; http.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename= " + fileName + ".pdf"); http.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw); gvListing.AllowPaging = false; PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(TotalColumns); foreach (GridViewRow rows in gvListing.Rows) { if (rows.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header) { for (int i = 0; i &lt; rows.Cells.Count; i++) { PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(); cell.Phrase = new Phrase(getCellText(rows.Cells[i])); table.AddCell(cell); } } else if (rows.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image Image1 = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image)rows.FindControl("Image1"); string url = Image1.ImageUrl; Image1.Visible = false; iTextSharp.text.Image jpg = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(new Uri(url)); jpg.ScaleToFit(8f, 10f); jpg.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER; for (int i = 0; i &lt; rows.Cells.Count; i++) { if (i == 0) table.AddCell(jpg); else { PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlDecode(getCellText(rows.Cells[i])))); table.AddCell(cell); } } } } //gvListing.RenderControl(hw); StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString()); Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f); HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc); PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, http.Response.OutputStream); try { pdfDoc.Open(); pdfDoc.Add(table); } catch (DocumentException dex) { //http.Response.Write(dex.Message); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(dex.Message); } catch (IOException ioex) { //http.Response.Write(ioex.Message); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ioex.Message); } catch (Exception ex) { //http.Response.Write(ex.Message); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message); } finally { pdfDoc.Close(); //http.Response.Write(StyleOfExportTable()); http.Response.Output.Write(pdfDoc); http.Response.End(); } } private string getCellText(TableCell cell) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(cell.Text); foreach (Control c in cell.Controls) { if (c.Visible) { string controlText = getTextProperty(c); if (controlText != null) { if (sb.Length &gt; 0) sb.Append(" "); sb.Append(controlText); } } } return sb.ToString(); } private string getTextProperty(object o) { PropertyInfo propertyInfo = o.GetType().GetProperty("Text"); if (propertyInfo != null) { MethodInfo getMethod = propertyInfo.GetGetMethod(); if (getMethod != null) { return (string)getMethod.Invoke(o, null); } } return string.Empty; } </code></pre> <p>It can export pdf and can export the total column I want but besides the image, others cell just display the html code <code>&lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;text&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</code>. </p> <p>What is this and how can I solve it?</p>
