I have generated PDF using CoreGaraphics in which i have passed line by line string which i want in PDF. But now i want to generate it in report format. And the data will vary as it is coming from web service. Report format will have three columns and N no. of rows(depending upon the data).
How to generate it please help.
Thanks in advance.
Got the solution..

I have the used above tutorial and in the drawText method, i have used drawInRect: for individual string for particular column.
I suggest you this framework: https://github.com/htsoft/RSReport

I want to use the output of {{Special:Editcount/User}} in #expr to calculate something. But of course the output is handled as a string, even if I split it into its figures with #sub. So how can I make it being recognized as int? Any idea?
Try {{formatnum|{{Special:Editcount/<user>}}|R}} (docs).
You cannot do that, because embedded special pages such as {{Special:Editcount}} are filled out at load time, after the Wikitext has already been parsed. In order to parse such content you will need runtime JavaScript.
Is there any way to create a csv file using c#, which can have/show few values in Italic format, when we open it in excel.
Its just not possible. Theres no markup in csv. Either export an xls(x) or rethink your problem/solution. Why csv? It's not really meant for people to read. Only to transfer data from one application to another.
A CSV file is a text file where Excel can only interpret the type of field content as best (text, numeric, date) but not within a field. So the short answer is no.
There are libraries available for the ASP.NET MVC environment which allow you to create true Excel files so you then have complete control over field formats etc. A quick Google will find these.
UPDATE
A possible solution, if you are using MVC, is to create an HTML 'file' and then download that:
this.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "Employees.xls");
this.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
return this.Content(sb.ToString());
I've never tried this but have seen that it might work.
When i backup my blackberry using blackberry desktop mananger, it saves it as an .ipd file.
its in hex... Not sure if its any particular type. But i used software called ABC amber Text Converter to convert this .ipd file into plain text format. And some of it comes out as plain text, Like all the messages saved in the backup file. But some of the text in the file looks like this:
qÖ²u_+;¢õ¿B[[¤†D`Ø,>p
|Cñ:ÌQ†nÁä¼sÒ®sKDv©{(]

Does anybody have any idea What the hell this is or if there is Any way i can decode this?
Thanks
It's just binary data. You may have been able to extract some text from the file where strings of text were stored, but the rest will be just bytes of data.
You'll need a specific program that understands these backup files. A quick google reveals a few choices, such as MagicBerry.
One of the Blackberry developers has helpfully blogged a bit of information about the binary format, so you could try using that to write your own program to parse it:

I don't have grid view as I am working on asp.net MVC.
So can I create Response object which writes data into pdf format
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=data.pdf");
Response.ContentType = "application/.pdf";
I use these two lines but I don't know in which format, I should write data?
you must use a pdf library like iTextSharp. just do a google search.
I usually generate my pdf reports on the fly using report viewer control (client-side mode).
LOL.
You need to get PDF converter to convert from whichever format you use to PDF. The last I checked there were no fully functional converters for free. Buy it, buddy.
Hoping that someone has some info on how to parse a xfa file. I can parse csv or xml files just fine, but an xfa one has come along and I'm not familar with the format. Looks like tab delimited body with column metadata at the top.
Anyone dealt with these before or can give me a steer on how to parse them?
I use vb.net but the language of any solution isn't too relevant.
Much appreciated.
Mmm, looks like nobody has a clue. The problem is that .xfa doesn't look like a "standard" extension: after all, anybody can create its own extension names, from .xyz to .something...
I looked around a bit, found, unsurprisingly (the 'x') an XML format with this extension, not much more.
Indicating where this kind of file come from, what kind of data it holds, might help. Or not.
You describe the file as being a simple TSV (tab separated values) with a header. It is quite trivial to parse, with a tokenizer or some regex, so I am not sure where you are stuck.
I think you might be talking about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFA_forms
This seemed to be a page that was designed to deal with that template: http://www.w3.org/1999/05/XFA/xfa-template-19990614
That information should be enough to get the ball rolling. If that fails then you can always analyse the file itself for patterns and go from there. I don't see it being too tricky.
Anyway, I hope that helps.
P.S. If you could provide a link to that .xfa we could probably give you more help.
The original post says the content looks like "tab delimited body with column metadata at the top". An XFA form doesn't look anything like that - XFA forms typically use a *.xdp extension and are XML.
