IGlobalizationService Interface

Enables you to customize globalization settings of the current thread (including thread impersonation).

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.ClientControls

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v24.1.Web.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web.Reporting.Common

Declaration

C#

public interface IGlobalizationService

VB.NET

Public Interface IGlobalizationService

Remarks

When a web server processes requests coming from the Query Builder, End-User Report Designer or Web Document Viewer, a full page postback does not occur, which enables faster processing of such requests.

To register a custom globalization service, provide a custom IGlobalizationService implementation and register it by calling the DefaultClientControlContainer.UseCustomGlobalizationService<T> method at the application startup.

C#

using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.ClientControls;
// ...

public class CustomGlobalizationService : IGlobalizationService {
    public void UpdateCultures(string[] userLanguagesFromClient) {
        CultureInfo currentCulture = GetCultureInfo(userLanguagesFromClient);
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = currentCulture;
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = currentCulture;
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.Threading
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.ClientControls
' ...

Public Class CustomGlobalizationService
    Implements IGlobalizationService
    Public Sub UpdateCultures(userLanguagesFromClient As String())
        Dim currentCulture As CultureInfo = GetCultureInfo(userLanguagesFromClient)
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = currentCulture
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = currentCulture
    End Sub
End Class

You can register your globalization service using the DefaultClientControlContainer.UseCustomGlobalizationService<T> method at the applicaton startup.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.ClientControls;
// using DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.QueryBuilder.Native;
// using DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.WebDocumentViewer.Native;
// using DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.ReportDesigner.Native;
// ...

protected void Application_Start(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    // QueryBuilderBootstrapper.SessionState = System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly;
    // ReportDesignerBootstrapper.SessionState = System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly;
    // WebDocumentViewerBootstrapper.SessionState = System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly;
    DefaultClientControlContainer.UseCustomGlobalizationService<CustomGlobalizationService>();
    // ...
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.ClientControls
' Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.QueryBuilder.Native
' Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.WebDocumentViewer.Native
' Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.ReportDesigner.Native
' ...

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    ' QueryBuilderBootstrapper.SessionState = System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly
    ' ReportDesignerBootstrapper.SessionState = System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly
    ' WebDocumentViewerBootstrapper.SessionState = System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly
    DefaultClientControlContainer.UseCustomGlobalizationService(Of CustomGlobalizationService)()
    ' ...
End Sub

If you are using the ASP.NET session state in your application, assign an appropriate value to the static SessionState property of the required bootstrapper classes.

• QueryBuilderBootstrapper
• ReportDesignerBootstrapper
• WebDocumentViewerBootstrapper

Additionally, to be able to access the session state from your IGlobalizationService implementation, add the following lines to the application’s configuration file.
