Localization of local reports

Question

Does the local reportviewer in asp.net supports localization? I need to display reports in different languages based on resource files (resx).
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi Michel Miranda

Yes you can. In RDLC Report properties there is one property called "languages".By default it will be "United States (English)", you can defined you own language based on expression option under language.

Hope this will help you

Hi Raja Sekhar K,

Thanks for the response. Still not getting it.

Can I use the same RDLC file for different languages?
Do I have to set the Languages property at runtime?

I have a ResourceManager class generated from resx files containing my text strings in different languages.
How do I reference the ResourceManager class in my report?

Thanks
Michel Miranda

Answer 3

HI Michel Miranda,

Yes it is possible, as i said, use the expression in the language property,
u can pass those text strings as parameters to report and assign those parameters to language property expression

Answer 4

Thanks again for the response. I realy appreciate it.

After your answers and surfing on the web my current knowledge is that the reportviewer doesn't support different languages very well.
I have to retrieve each translated text from the resource files and pass it to the report as a report parameter.
OK, I will give it a try.
