Binding "Culture" from a DataSource Property

[Kamesh]

Hi,

I am evaluating Telerik Reports for our project requirements. I would like to know whether it is possible to set the Culture value of the report (en-US, es-MX, etc.) from a DataSource property. The culture information is returned as part of the data source and we are trying to build the report based on the value returned from the DB during run-time. I tried to set the Culture value in the 2 ways shown below, but both didn't work.

1) this.Bindings.Add(new Telerik.Reporting.Binding("Culture", "= SampleReport.getCulture(ReportItem.DataObject.RawData)"));

2) this.Culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("= {Fields.[CultureInfo]}");

Hello ,

Our recommendation is to add a report parameter that will store the culture information passed from the data source. You can then add the binding to the report as following:

Property path: Culture
Expression: = Parameters.Culture.Value

You can find attached a sample report demonstrating this approach. If the suggested approach is not suitable for your scenario you can open a support ticket and provide more details about it (attach a sample project together with test data).
