Why below code is not working. I am try to convert html to pdf. "radEditor.ExportToPdf()" line of code given error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object at Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Export.RadEditorExportTemplate.Export()" 
       static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            RadEditor radEditor = new RadEditor();
            radEditor.Content = "<div>Hello</div>";
            radEditor.ExportContent += radEditor_ExportContent;
            radEditor.ExportToPdf();
        }

        static void radEditor_ExportContent(object sender, EditorExportingArgs e)
        {
            string path = "C:/tmp/NewFile.pdf";
            if (File.Exists(path))
            {
                File.Delete(path);
            }

            using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
            {
                Byte[] info = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(e.ExportOutput);
                fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length);
            }

Hi Arun,

Please try the below C# code snippet which export the RadEditor Content on a Button click.

C#:

RadEditor radEditor = new RadEditor();
public string output;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radEditor.Content = "<div>Hello</div>";
    radEditor.ExportContent += new EditorExportContentEventHandler(radEditor_ExportContent);
    form1.Controls.Add(radEditor);
}
void radEditor_ExportContent(object sender, EditorExportingArgs e)
{
    this.output = e.ExportOutput;
}
protected void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radEditor.ExportSettings.FileName = "TextFile.pdf";
    radEditor.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = true;
    radEditor.ExportToPdf();
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello,

From the static void Main(string[] args) line I can determine that this is not an ASP.NET web application, which does not need a Main method such as other .NET applications.

Note that the RadEditor control is a ASP.NET AJAX UI control and supported only under ASP.NET AJAX environment. Also, converting HTML string to PDF is not possible without a rendered in the browser RadEditor, therefore the Telerik.Web.UI cannot be used as a third party library to export HTML to PDF in another that ASP.NET projects.
