Hi Kumar
From your error message it is clear that the asp.net user does not have access write to c drive.
Do one thing create a temp folder in c drive and write the newly created pdf to that folder.
string strFileName = @"C:\temp\test.pdf"
Hi Santosh
Could you plese suggest me what will be the variable to be used in render method.
