i push the gridview direcly.cant replace < character

here my code 

        protected void generatepdfbtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Session["AgentCode"] != null)
            {

                DateTime dat = Convert.ToDateTime(getTimeZone(Session["AgentCode"].ToString()));
                string datetime = dat.ToString();
                datetime = datetime.Replace("/", "-");
                datetime = datetime.Replace(":", "-");


                Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Transactions.pdf");

                Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
                StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
                HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
                //transactiongrid.AllowPaging = false;
                //transactiongrid.DataBind();
                transactiongrid.RenderControl(hw);
                StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
                Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.B0, 10f, 10f, 10f, 0f);
                HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
                PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
                pdfDoc.Open();
                htmlparser.Parse(sr);
                pdfDoc.Close();
                Response.Write(pdfDoc);
