I'm building an application in asp.net mcv, using Entity Framework and am running into some problems. My requirements are to take a pdf template and fill the pdf with information form a database. When try to return the data from the databse all I get is the EF genearted sql.
This is what displays in my text box on my pdf form
SELECT
[Extent1].[Applicant_ID] AS [Applicant_ID]
FROM [dbo].[W4] AS [Extent1]
This is the controller with the linq query
public ActionResult Index()
{
string template = @"c:\users\carisch\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\NewTry\NewTry\fw4.pdf";
string newFile = @"c:\users\carisch\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\NewTry\NewTry\Newfw4.pdf";
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(template);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(newFile, FileMode.Create));
AcroFields fields = stamper.AcroFields;
var context = new NewTryContext();
var id = context.W4.Where(c => c.ID == 2).FirstOrDefault();
List<W4> myList = new List<W4>();
myList.Add(id);
fields.SetField("f1_15_0_", myList.ToString());
stamper.FormFlattening = false;
stamper.Close();
return File(@"c:\users\carisch\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\NewTry\NewTry\Newfw4.pdf", "application/pdf");
}
}
