c# - iTextSharp generating pdfs, compiles and runs without error but no PDF appears

Question

I've tried a number of different variations to output a very basic PDF from memory but all seem to return the same result, which is to say it doesn't actually return anything. The code compiles and runs without error but when VS finishes processing the code nothing happens.

I'm using VS2008 and iTextSharp v5.1.1

Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Here is my code in its current state:

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();           
Document doc = new Document();        
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, ms);
writer.CloseStream = false;

doc.Open();
doc.Add(new Paragraph("Test Content"));
doc.Add(new Paragraph(DateTime.Now.ToString()));
doc.Close();

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.OutputStream.Write(ms.GetBuffer(), 0, ms.GetBuffer().Length);
Response.OutputStream.Flush();            
Response.OutputStream.Close();
ms.Close();

Answer 1

One thing that I learned early on, don't use GetBuffer(), use ToArray(). See this post:
