How to Change Date Format of Report Parameters of DateTime Type in report Parameter Panel?

[Prabesh]

Hi Telerik Team,

I'm using Telerik Reporting in an ASP.NET MVC application. I have a generic helper method to configure the Telerik Report Viewer using a UriReportSource. Here's the function:

public static class ReportExtension
{
    public static IReportViewerBuilder GetReportViewerConfig(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string reportId, string reportSource, Dictionary<string, string> reportParams)
    {
        var uriReportSource = new UriReportSource
        {
            Uri = reportSource
        };

        foreach (var param in reportParams)
        {
            uriReportSource.Parameters.Add(param.Key, param.Value);
        }

        return htmlHelper.TelerikReporting().ReportViewer()
            .Id(reportId)
            .ReportServer(new ReportServer()
            {
                Url = ReadConfigData.REPORT_SERVER_URL,
                Username = ReadConfigData.REPORT_SERVER_USERNAME,
                Password = ReadConfigData.REPORT_SERVER_PASSWORD
            })
            .ReportSource(uriReportSource)
            .ViewMode(ViewMode.Interactive)
            .ScaleMode(ScaleMode.FitPageWidth)
            .PersistSession(false)
            .SendEmail(new SendEmail { Enabled = true })
            .Parameters(new Parameters
            {
                Editors = new Editors
                {
                    MultiSelect = EditorTypes.ComboBox,
                    SingleSelect = EditorTypes.ComboBox
                }
            })
            .EnableAccessibility(false);
    }
}

The Problem:
I'm using DateTime parameters (e.g., dateFrom, dateUntil) in my reports, and they appear in the report 
parameter panel with the format MM/dd/yyyy. I want to show these dates as dd/MM/yyyy.
 


My Questions:
1. Is it possible to customize the display format (e.g., dd/MM/yyyy) of DateTime parameters in the parameter input panel?
2. If not, is there any workaround — such as setting culture explicitly for the viewer?

Hello Prabesh,

Yes, it is possible to customize the Date Format of the DateTime parameters in the Report Viewer. For details, please see How to change report parameter date format in HTML5 MVC Report Viewer, which describes two possible solutions. 

I hope this helps.

Justin
