2. PDF .NET Generator

Convert

Once you install IronPDF into your Visual Studio project, it provides a vast number of methods to automate with PDF on ASP.NET such as replacing texts and images. You can even convert an ASP.NET webpage to PDF in just one line of code, as we've done below.

It provides a flexible and reliable framework for ASP.NET to develop a PDF using C#, which we know as developers is essential for our projects.

In the code below, we used a single click to generate a PDF from the whole ASP.NET webpage, thanks to the API method RenderThisPageAsPdf.

/**

**/
using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using IronPdf;

namespace aspxtopdf
{
    public partial class _Default : Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            AspxToPdf.RenderThisPageAsPdf();
        }
    }
}

/**

using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using IronPdf;

namespace aspxtopdf
{
    public partial class _Default : Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            AspxToPdf.RenderThisPageAsPdf();
        }
    }
}
