Default create pdf file

I want to create a PDF file in vb.net. I have datagridview in my form, from that I need to create a PDF file. I did not like to use any external dll , is it possible to create a PDF file using micosoft API and or .net SDK.

Thanks in advance

Delsaj

There is no support for PDF files in the .NET Framework or in Windows. Given that Microsoft wants to push their PDF competitor, i.e. XPS, there isn't likely to ever be such support. I think that there might be XPS support in WPF, but don't quote me on that. If you want to create a PDF then you have to either build the entire thing yourself from scratch, which is not going to happen, or else use a third-party component. I'd suggest considering iTextSharp, which is free.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have done the same using a crystal report.
