Exporting report - Culture problem

[Geoffrey]

Hello,

I use the following method to export report from console application.
The problem is that the generating report is exported only in default culture (en).
Setting the Thread.CurrentCulture and Thread.CurrentUICulture has no effect.

private void GenerateReportFromSource(InstanceReportSource reportSource, ReportType reportType, String path, CultureInfo cultureInfo)
        {
            LocalizationInfo.Culture = cultureInfo;
            Thread thread = new Thread(() =>
            {
                try
                {
                   ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();

                    RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport(reportType.ToString().ToUpper(), reportSource, null);

                    FileInfo info = new FileInfo(path);
                    if (info.DirectoryName != null && !Directory.Exists(info.DirectoryName))
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(info.DirectoryName);
                    File.WriteAllBytes(path + "." + reportType.ToString().ToLower(), result.DocumentBytes);
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    Logger.WriteException(e);
                }
            });
            thread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
            thread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
            thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
            thread.Start();
            thread.Join();
        }

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Geoffrey

I fially solved the problem you shoud say in the documentation that the Report must be instanciate after the Thread.CurrentCulutre* has been setted. I thought that it was the ReportProcessing who manage this.

Hello Geoffrey,

I am glad to hear the issue is resolved.

About setting the culture of the report, Reports localization is standard localization based on resource manager operating with resx files based on the current thread's culture. Thus setting the culture must happen before creating the report instance.
