I have done like this for generating pdf at runtime when i click on the print button
The process is like this when I click on the print button the pdf is generated with folder.
For that I have done like this:
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
private const string PAYMENT_PATH = @"c:xxxxxxxxxxpaymentType_{0}";
btnPrint.Visible = true;
btnPrint.Enabled = true;
string pay = cbpaymenttype.Text;
string dds = cbddprovider.Text;
string path = String.Format(PAYMENT_PATH, DateTime.Now.ToString("ddMMyyyyHHmm"));
//List<paymenttypeprint> paymenttype = new List<paymenttypeprint>();
List<printfunctions> printfunction = new List<printfunctions>();
foreach (ListViewItem item in lstviewcashmembers.Items)
{
printfunctions allpayments = new printfunctions();
allpayments.member_Lastname = item.SubItems[1].Text;
allpayments.member_Firstname = item.SubItems[2].Text;
allpayments.Postcode = item.SubItems[3].Text;
allpayments.ddReference = item.SubItems[4].Text;
allpayments.ddprovider = item.SubItems[5].Text;
allpayments.Monthlyamount = Convert.ToDecimal(item.SubItems[6].Text);
allpayments.MembershipType = item.SubItems[7].Text;
allpayments.Status = item.SubItems[8].Text;
allpayments.Enddate = Convert.ToDateTime(item.SubItems[9].Text);
allpayments.paymentmethods = item.SubItems[10].Text;
printfunction.Add(allpayments);
}
new printFunction(printfunction, new Company(mf.gBaseUrl).GetSingleLineCompanyDetails(), path, pay, dds);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("explorer.exe", path);
}
I have created the class printfunctions
like this:

Its working fine when the ListView
lstviewcashmembers has rows upto 100 or 300, but its not working when the ListView
lstviewcashmembers has 1600 rows.
The system crashes at this line:
pdfRenderer.RenderDocument();
The execution does not go to the next line and it does not showing any exception also the system just crashes when I click on the print button and if the ListView
has 1600 rows.
Is there an
