I have an aspx page that contains an asp.net grid created from codebehing and rendered on pageload. This acts as the header for a RadGrid that contains the detail. Both the grids are in separate pannel.
I am using iTextSharp to export both the grids into a pdf. I am using the code below to create a form dynamically and then rerender it into a pdf:

HtmlForm

form = new HtmlForm();

form.Controls.Add(MyRadGrid1);

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();

HtmlTextWriter hTextWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);

form.Controls[0].RenderControl(hTextWriter);

I am getting several errors during the 'form.Controls[0].RenderControl(hTextWriter)' .
This code is unable to render all the telerik controls in the RadGrid.

Is there any other way that this could be achieved? Should i look into other options that will be better than itextSharp ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Ogunseye,

Please note that combining third-party controls with Telerik UI controls is beyond our support scope. I highly suggest that you check the following samples and determine which one meets your specific requirements:

I hope this will prove helpful.
