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

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.

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;
    }
}

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

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>();
    // ...
}

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.

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

<system.web>
  <httpHandlers>
    <add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxHttpHandlerModule, DevExpress.Web.v16.2, Version=16.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" verb="GET,POST" path="DXXRDV.axd" validate="false" />
    ...

</system.web>
