The report generation is triggered by a client-side button click. The CreateTestList method has been omitted.

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        contributors = CreateTestList();

        // instance reporting engine
        // assign parameters

        ReportEngine engine = new ReportEngine();

        string reportPath = Server.MapPath("ContributorList.srd");

        ReportModel reportModel = ReportEngine.LoadReportModel(reportPath);

        PageBuilder pageBuilder = engine.CreatePageBuilder(reportModel, contributors);
        pageBuilder.BuildExportList();
        string outputPath = Server.MapPath("ContributorList.pdf");

        // render report
        PdfRenderer pdfRenderer =
            PdfRenderer.CreateInstance(pageBuilder.Pages, outputPath, false);
        pdfRenderer.Start();
        pdfRenderer.RenderOutput();
        pdfRenderer.End();

        // send report to the client
