How to show CrystalReport as and Download it in MVC

As there is no way till now to show crystal report in a view(MVC). You can simply convert the report document as pdf using following code:

 public void ShowReport()
        {
            List<ToDos> lstTodos = new List<ToDos>();
            lstTodos = db.ToDos.ToList();
            ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
            rd.Load(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("CrystalReport1.rpt")));
            rd.SetDataSource(lstTodos);
            Stream stream;
            stream = rd.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);

            byte[] binarydata;
            binarydata = new Byte[stream.Length];
            stream.Read(binarydata, 0, (int)stream.Length);

            string base64String = "";
            try
            {
                base64String =
                  System.Convert.ToBase64String(binarydata,
                                         0,
                                         binarydata.Length);
            }
            catch (System.ArgumentNullException)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine("Binary data array is null.");

            }

            string pdfurl = "data:application/pdf;base64," + base64String;

            ViewBag.Url = pdfurl;

        }

And after converting it as PDF use HTML object tag to show pdf document as shown below(using ViewBag.Url):

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

<object data="@ViewBag.Url"
        type="application/pdf" style=" height: 991px;margin-left: -32%;margin-top: 5%;width: 98%;"></object>

  Cannot access a disposed object. A common cause of this error is disposing a context that was resolved from dependency injection and then later trying to use the same context instance elsewhere in your application. This may occur if you are calling Dispose() on the context, or wrapping the context in a using statement. If you are using dependency injection, you should let the dependency injection container take care of disposing context instances.
