ASP.NET report viewer

Question

The following code resides inside a method and it uses the report viewer to render reports:

            objReportViewer.LocalReport.ReportPath = "TestReport.rdlc";

            objReportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear();

            objReportViewer.LocalReport.DisplayName = "TestReport_" +  DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd");

            object objReportDataSource = TestReportDataSource(Id);

            objReportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("TestReportDataSource", objReportDataSource));

            objReportViewer.ZoomMode = ZoomMode.PageWidth;


            ReportParameter[] arrReportParameters = new ReportParameter[3];

            // First Name
            arrReportParameters[0] = new ReportParameter("FirstName",person.FirstName);

            // LastName
            arrReportParameters[1] = new ReportParameter("LastName", person.LastName);

 //DOB
   arrReportParameters[2] = new ReportParameter("Age",person.DOB);


            objReportViewer.ShowParameterPrompts = false;
            objReportViewer.DocumentMapCollapsed = true;
            objReportViewer.ShowDocumentMapButton = false;


            objReportViewer.LocalReport.SetParameters(arrReportParameters);

   objReportViewer.LocalReport.ExecuteReportInSandboxAppDomain();

            objReportViewer.LocalReport.Refresh();

So far no issues when trying to generate the reports, if there is a lot of information then the report will have two or more pages. If I want to print or export to .pdf I can do so from the rendered report. My questions are two:

1- How can I make the report viewer export to .pdf programmatically.

2- How can I make the report viewer show only 1 page ignoring the rest of the data, or in case of exporting it to .pdf programmatically how can I export only the first page ignoring the rest.

For example if a report would normally render 2 pages I want it to render only the first one.

Is it possible to accomplish using the report viewer?

Thank you.

I'm not sure how to limit the pdf to one page. But here is how you export to pdf:

 Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.LocalReport oLocalReport = objReportViewer.LocalReport;


byte[] renderedBytes = null;
string reportType = "PDF";
string mimeType = "application/pdf";
string encoding = null;
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.Warning[] warnings = null;
string[] streams = null;
string deviceInfo = "<DeviceInfo><OutputFormat>PDF</OutputFormat><PageWidth>8.5in</PageWidth><PageHeight>11in</PageHeight></DeviceInfo>";


//Render the report
renderedBytes = oLocalReport.Render(reportType, deviceInfo, mimeType, encoding, "PDF", streams, warnings);

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = mimeType;

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + _reportName + ".PDF");
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(renderedBytes);
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
