Pass culture info from report viewer to server

[Yujie]

How do I pass culture info from client to server? I'm using the js library to initialize the report viewer (telerik_ReportViewer).

I had a look the doc here here but I don't see how this can be passed to the server.

 

I want to pass the culture info to the reporting service so that I can set the culture of the running thread correctly.

 

Thanks

Hello Yujie,

I noticed that you have opened a Support ticket on the issue. I have answered the questions there. For the benefit of the community I will summarize the discussion also here :

The culture may be passed in the device info settings when using the Reporting REST API. We do not expose a property for setting the device info settings in the Html5 Report Viewer. A workaround may be found in the How to pass culture via AJAX call from the HTML5 Report Viewer KB article. Basically, on the $.ajaxPrefilter event you should intercept the request for creating the document and modify its device info settings to provide the needed culture. The code may look like :

$.ajaxPrefilter(function (options, originalOptions, jqXHR) {
    var str = originalOptions.url;
    var documentsSuffix = "documents";
    var isDocumentsUrl = (str.indexOf(documentsSuffix) == str.length - documentsSuffix.length);
    if (isDocumentsUrl) {
        var d = JSON.parse(originalOptions.data);
        d.deviceInfo["CurrentCulture"] = YourCultureHere;
        d.deviceInfo["CurrentUICulture"] = YourCultureHere;
        options.data = JSON.stringify(d);
    }
});

The Report Localized with YourCultureHere would be automatically rendered in this culture by the REST Service.
