Generating PDF files in VB.NET

[gi11ies]

I am wondering if anyone can help me - I hear that .NET can generate PDF files, so am wondering if anyone can point me in the correct direction with VB.NET, and how to tackle this.

Basically what I want to do get some contact details from an Access database (or these can be entered via text boxes) and write the values to a PDF file that can then be viewed and opened with Adobe.

I have seen a number of 3rd party software online, but would like to try this for myself using .NET.

Any help would be really great!

In vb .net, do a search for pdf. There are options you can set to export pdf. This is in the crystal reports namespace.. I find crystal is not the easiest thing to work with. However from what I can tell, you would still need a 3rd party control to actually create a pdf file.

Depends on how much time you want to spend on this, but I would go 3rd party, there are even a few for free.
