How to export data in Groupbox into PDF?

I have built a very simple windows form application using C#. But I am stuck here and could not find any help anywhere.
What my simple application does is that it queries out the information in the groupbox which has textboxes labels and buttons. I would like to export or convert the data from in the groupbox into the pdf.
Is there a way to implement that??
Thank you so much in advance~

You may want to have a look at http://www.pdfsharp.com/PDFsharp/. It's a pretty good framework for what you need.
Good luck

There are so many options, following SO Link provides the solution and it is working it seems

Use PDFSharp to save as PDF

there's really a ton of different solutions for this, but you will almost absolutely need a 3rd party library for what you're trying to do. Google around for a pdf library for c#, as there are several.
EDIT: some possible solutions may be PDFjet, PDFsharp,ABCPDF (do note, if this is part of a commercial application, make sure that the licensing allows use for it)

Can I open a print a pdf document through c# with the print dialog

I have a PDF file I want to print through my program by bringing up the print dialog. Is there a way to do this without using external programs such as Adobe Reader?
Thanks,
Richard
EDIT: For the time being I'm using Adobe as the most common place 3rd party program available that is also free. I'd still like to find other solutions though.
EDIT: Anyone down voting could you please explain why - it helps learning.

Your best bet would be to use a 3rd party library like the PDF Component from Aspose. There isn't anything natively in .NET that could do this.

How to create SWF movie from C# application?

I'm working on C# application where I get some user input, so I'd like to save it as animation to SWF.
I searched the web for some open library to do that, but I've found only dead links. Is there any open library for that?
Thank you in advance.

If you want to create swf files. Then you will need to generate it with adobe's SDK.
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Flex+SDK
And there's an open source flash editor project using java + adobe air may helps you.
http://code.google.com/p/minibuilder/

I don't know how I overlooked this project, but there is SwfDotNet.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/swfdotnet/
It seems to be almost what I need, I'll look it through tomorrow.

C# System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument to PDF Recommendation?

We are developing a C# Application that supports printing multiple views and we would like to add printing to PDF. This application has several 3rd party controls that handle the printing on their own so adding something like SharpPDf will not work for us we don't believe.
Either we need a 3rd party component that takes a Print document as source and produces a PDF from that, or we need a good 3rd party print driver.
I was surprised that Adobe does not offer a Distributable version of the PDF printer they bundle with Acrobat as that would be ideal. Anyone have recommendations as to what is the best path for us on this?
Thanks in Advance,
Jeff
UPDATE: So after all the suggestions and a ton of research here is what I ended up doing. We are buying a license to Novapdf sdk for our product (http://www.novapdf.com/en/pdf-sdk.html). I looked at over 15 different products and we went with nova because of the ease of which we could implement this in our code and the cost was right ($899 for novaPDF SDK Single Application v7.) The code could not have been simpler and you can start developing before you actually have the license. Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions.

as a PDF printer, you can use PDF Creator, that it's free:

However, i'm using SharpPDF and works fine.

The best free tool I found is ITextSharp. It's very easy to use, and has a lot of examples online.
You can find it information at http://itextsharp.com/

we are using Billzip http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php. There is also a COM interface to define how you want the output file handled. Here is the COM object info http://www.biopdf.com/guide/.
