PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hello,

I am attempting to run a simple demo program using itextsharp. The code is shown below. Am unable to compile the following line:

Dim pdfDoc As New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDocument(PageSize.LETTER, 10.0F, 10.0F, 10.0F, 0.0F)

"pdfDoc" is underlined and the message when hovering is:
iTextSharp.text.pdf.friend Sub New()' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Friend'.

This line is in the code section where we write to a stream.

Any ideas on how to get this to work? (Am using VS2010 on win7)
thanks,
bartj


Imports iTextSharp.text
Imports iTextSharp.text.pdf
Imports iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPCell
Imports iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPTable
Imports iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfImage
Imports System.IO

Module itxtsharp

Sub sharptest()

Dim pdfTable As New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPTable(5)

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
pdfTable.DefaultCell.Padding = 3
pdfTable.WidthPercentage = 30
pdfTable.HorizontalAlignment = iTextSharp.text.Element.ALIGN_LEFT
pdfTable.DefaultCell.BorderWidth = 1

'Adding Header row
For Each column As Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumn In Form1.DataGridViewPeak.Columns
Dim cell As New PdfPCell(New iTextSharp.text.Phrase(column.HeaderText))
cell.BackgroundColor = New iTextSharp.text.Color(240, 240, 240)
pdfTable.AddCell(cell)
Next

'Adding DataRow
For Each row As Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRow In Form1.DataGridViewPeak.Rows
For Each cell As Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCell In row.Cells
pdfTable.AddCell(cell.Value.ToString())
Next
Next

'Exporting to PDF
Dim folderPath As String = "C:\PDFs\"
If Not Directory.Exists(folderPath) Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(folderPath)
End If


Using stream As New FileStream(folderPath & "DataGridViewExport.pdf", FileMode.Create)
Dim pdfDoc As New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDocument(PageSize.LETTER, 10.0F, 10.0F, 10.0F, 0.0F) '<<<<<<here is where the problem occurs
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, stream)
pdfDoc.Open()
pdfDoc.Add(pdfTable)
pdfDoc.Close()
stream.Close()
End Using

End Sub

End Module

Closed because it's off topic.
