PS 2013 BUG: Import Timesheet exception (russian regional settings)

Question

Hello!

I've installed PS 2013 trial and I have russian regional settings (PS VM : win 2008 r2 sp1; SQL VM: Windows 7, sql 2012 express). Russian language pack installed.

When I press Import Timesheet (Импорт расписания) in Tasks (in PWA) I get exception page (ULS, strange data is there mon jul 09 08:02:18 2012):

[bucketHash:6BA66C60]  System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.     at System.DateTimeParse.Parse(String s, DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi, DateTimeStyles styles)     at Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.ApplicationPages.ImportTimesheetPage.mnuPeriods_ItemBound(PWADropdown sender, PWADropdownEventArgs args)     at Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.CommonControls.PWADropdown.OnDataBinding(EventArgs e)     at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBind(Boolean raiseOnDataBinding)     at Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.ApplicationPages.ImportTimesheetPage.PJWebPage_OnLoad(EventArgs e)     at Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.PJWebPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e)     at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()     at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) StackTrace:  at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Native.dll: (sig=435d7b9e-6d66-4296-9702-0defb7d00da1|2|microsoft.office.project.server.native.pdb, offset=3C1E) at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Native.dll: (offset=1254D)

Answer 1

Well, it was interesting for me to investigate a little bit. So I took .Net Reflector and found the mentioned method that had thrown and exception.

Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.ApplicationPages.ImportTimesheetPage.mnuPeriods_ItemBound

in

Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA.ApplicationPages.dll

Seemed ok, but as it is works in PS 2010, I also opened the same PS 2010 assembly (Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA.ApplicationPages.dll) in reflector.

And what do you think? :) Yes - it is a bit different with DateTime format change (

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture is PS2010 is changed to InvariantInfo is PS2013):

As now it's not working - it seems to be a BUG.

And of course it works if I change to Locale ("языковой стандарт") to English on "My Settings" (Мои параметры) page (upper right conner drop down menu).
