export without the Microsoft report control

[C# Programming]

I am using thecode below to generate the reports but I want to know how to modify it to export to PDF file directly without a need of the report viewer control?


private void generate_invoices()
{
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;

// sql_connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\\JASSIMSQL;initial catalog=takhlees;integrated security=true");
sql_connection = new SqlConnection(public_var.sql_server_connection);

try
{
sql_connection.Open();

sql_command = new SqlCommand("sp_get_account_book_by_book_guid", sql_connection);
sql_command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
// sql_command.Parameters.Add("@accounts_date", SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = current_date.ToShortDateString();
// sql_command.Parameters.Add("@account_number", SqlDbType.Int).Value = dateCurrentDate.SelectionRange.Start;
sql_command.Parameters.Add("@book_guid", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = book_guid;

DataSet data_set = new dsReports();

reportTICS.Reset();

sql_reader = sql_command.ExecuteReader();

data_set.Tables[0].Load(sql_reader);

// reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "The_Internet_Cafe_System.ReportDaily.rdlc";
reportTICS.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "dsReports_sp_get_account_book_by_book_guid";
// reportTICS.LocalReport.ReportPath = TICS_registry_current_user_reports.GetValue("ReportsFolder").ToString() + "\\" + TICS_registry_current_user_reports.GetValue("DailyReportFile").ToString();
reportTICS.LocalReport.ReportPath = @"C:\Users\Jassim\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Takhlees\Takhlees\envoice.rdlc";

ReportDataSource rds = new ReportDataSource();
rds.Name = "dsReports_sp_get_account_book_by_book_guid";
rds.Value = data_set.Tables[0];
reportTICS.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(rds);

ReportDataSource rds2 = new ReportDataSource();
rds2.Name = "dsReports_sp_get_account_book_by_account_number";
rds2.Value = data_set.Tables[0];
reportTICS.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(rds2);


reportTICS.LocalReport.*******();

reportTICS.*******Report();

}

// event_log.create_event("Daily Report was generated for " + dateCurrentDate.SelectionRange.Start.ToString("dd MMM yyyy"), EventLogEntryType.Information, 1000);

// sql_reader.Close();
// sql_connection.Close();

progressInvoice.Minimum = 0;

}
