Which PDF .NET component should I choose?

Does anyone have experience with any .NET components for creating PDF
documents "on the fly" on a web server? We have been using ABCpdf (
http://www.websupergoo.com/abcpdf-5.htm
) for a while now and are pretty much satisfied, but now we have
upgraded to .NET 2.0 and they only offer a .NET 1.1 version.

Any suggestions for another tool/component would be appreciated. It
doesnt have to be freeware.

Why cant you continue to use the 1.1 version?

What's the problem with continuing to use their 1.1 version until they have
released a 2.0 version...?

You can still use the 1.x version in a 2.0 environment.

You could also try iTextSharp over at sourceforge. It's free (which is
always nice) and has been around for a while.

Hi, I second that. I have used a few of the commercial ones and depending on
what you are doing, this free version is not too bad at all.

Also, take a look at http://www.o2sol.com/pdf4net/overview.htm

Hi, I needed a method to determine if a point was on a line segment in 2D. So I googled for some help and so far I have evaluated two methods. The first method was only a formula, the second method was a piece of C code which turned out to be incorrect and incomplete but by modifieing it would still be usuable. The first method was this piece of text:

Given the option of creating Looping statements within a stored proc of sql server or in the code-behind of an .net webpage, which would you choose and why? Reason I ask is I created a webpage which essentially runs through a litany of loops to determine which stored proc to kick off. This is written in the code-behind. It occurred to me that I could probably just...
