how can I create a PDF-Document in a C# Silverlight Application?

UseCase: Get values from Database, generate PDF with these values, display PDF in Pop-Up.

Using iTextsharp (http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/) I could create a PDF document in C# WPF.

But this did not work in my C# Silverlight Application (when I try to reference the itextsharp.dll I’m getting the following error:

“You can’t add a reference to itextsharp.dll as it was not built against the Silverlight runtime. Silverlight projects will only work with Silverlight assemblies”.

Are there other ways to generate a PDF document in  a C# Silverlight Application?

 you’ll need to generate the pdf on the server and return a url to the pdf to the silverlight client, which would then open the page.

or you could use an asp helper page and have the pdf written to the response stream.

anyway, the point is that you can’t do it directly in silverlight.  as far as your itextsharp issue goes, the error message is very accurate.  you can’t use a library in silverlight that wasn’t compiled against the silverlight runtime itself.

Why is it not possible to generate and display PDF (in a Browser pop-up with Adobe Writer) on the fly on the Silverlight client?

I understand that saving on the client does not work (because the Silverlight Plug-in s running in a Sandbox). But the User could save the file by himself.
