How to convert HTML into PDF using iTextSharp in winform?

Question

I want to convert HTML into PDF in windows form. I have come across many fabulous articles online such as these:

• http://www.aspsnippets.com/Categories/iTextSharp.aspx

• http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Export-HTML-DIV-contents-to-PDF-using-iTextSharp-in-ASPNet.aspx

• http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Export-ASP.Net-GridView-to-PDF-with-Custom-Columns-Widths-using-iTextSharp.aspx

But they do not quite address my problem.

Is it possible that I can just pass a string of HTML and convert it into PDF in Winform?

For example :

string html = "<table><tr><td>Arbaaz</td><tr></table>"

Can I just pass this string to some iText method to create PDF?

Got the answer I was looking for here ..

Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "\\MySamplePDF.pdf", FileMode.Create));
document.Open();
iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker hw = 
             new iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker(document);
hw.Parse(new StringReader(htmlText));
document.Close();
