Once you install IronPDF into your Visual Studio project, it provides a vast number of methods to automate with PDF on ASP.NET such as replacing texts and images in PDFs. You can even convert an ASP.NET webpage to PDF in just one line of code, as we've done below.

It provides a flexible and reliable framework for ASP.NET to develop a PDF using C#, which we know as developers is essential for our projects.

In the code below, we used a single click to generate a PDF from the whole ASP.NET webpage, thanks to the API method RenderThisPageAsPdf.

// ASP.NET PDF Generator
// anchor-pdf-net-generator

using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using IronPdf;

namespace aspxtopdf
{
    public partial class _Default : Page
    {
        // This method is executed when the ASP.NET page loads
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Any page initialization logic can be placed here
        }

        // This method is executed when Button1 is clicked
        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Convert the current ASPX webpage to a PDF
            AspxToPdf.RenderThisPageAsPdf();
        }
    }
}
// ASP.NET PDF Generator
// anchor-pdf-net-generator

using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using IronPdf;

namespace aspxtopdf
{
    public partial class _Default : Page
    {
        // This method is executed when the ASP.NET page loads
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Any page initialization logic can be placed here
        }

        // This method is executed when Button1 is clicked
        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Convert the current ASPX webpage to a PDF
            AspxToPdf.RenderThisPageAsPdf();
        }
    }
}
