iText in Asp.net MVC

Question

I want to use iText to write data to pdf.

Assembles that I've added are

iTextdotNET.dll
Gnu.Classpath.Core.dll

But the problem that I am facing is

Error 1 The type 'java.io.OutputStream' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'vjslib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
Error 2 The type 'java.io.Serializable' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'vjslib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

What I understood is: It requires j#.

Now what to do?

Doesn't look like J# to me, looks like straight-up Java.

There are (at least) two .NET ports of iText. It looks like you've got iText.NET. Grab the latest release of iTextSharp and your dependency worries should be over.

New versions of the .NET version of iText ahve just a single DLL called itextsharp.dll with no dependencies on J# libraries or anything like that.

BTW If you're doing anything non-trivial, look for the mailing list and order the book now (the book goes deep but remains approachable)

I'd suggest using iTextSharp rather than iText.Net. iText.Net hasn't been updated in quite a while, while ITextSharp is relatively up-to-date and works seamlessly with newer versions of the .Net framework.

What version of the framework is your project targeting? It looks like it is trying to use the .NET 1.1 versions of the libraries.

That gnu.classpath.core.dll is part of IKVM, isn't it? You should not need that unless you want to use the Java version of iText. (and if you do, install a JRE and set the path to it correctly) You are trying to use the .Net version, so remove that reference and see if it works.
