Step-4

Now Given bellow the controller code:

using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalReportDemo.Models;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace CrystalReportDemo.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        MVCTutorialEntities db = new MVCTutorialEntities();
        public ActionResult EmployeeList()
        {
            return View(db.EmployeeInfoes.ToList());
        }

        public ActionResult exportReport()
        {
            ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
            rd.Load(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Report"), "CrystalReport.rpt"));
            rd.SetDataSource(db.EmployeeInfoes.ToList());
            Response.Buffer = false;
            Response.ClearContent();
            Response.ClearHeaders();
            try
            {
                Stream stream = rd.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
                stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                return File(stream, "application/pdf", "Employee_list.pdf");
            }
            catch
            {
                throw;
            }
        }

        
    }
}

Step-5

Now Given bellow the EmployeeList.cshtml or view code:

@model IEnumerable<CrystalReportDemo.Models.EmployeeInfo>

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "EmployeeList";
}

<h2>EmployeeList</h2>

<p>
   <a class="btn btn-success" href="@Url.Action("exportReport")">Download Report</a> 
</p>
<table class="table">
    <tr>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.EmployeeId)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.EmployeeName)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Email)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Phone)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Experience)
        </th>
        <th></th>
    </tr>

@foreach (var item in Model) {
    <tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.EmployeeId)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.EmployeeName)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Email)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Phone)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Experience)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ }) |
            @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ }) |
            @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ })
        </td>
    </tr>
