LINQ Reporting Engine - Culture

[James_Winn]

Hi,

I was wondering whether there is any way to specify the culture when providing a format for a value using the reporting engine syntax?

From what I understand, the reporting engine uses the current thread culture, which means all formats use a single culture. Is there anyway to override this for something like this?

GBP Amount: <<[AmountInGBP]:C:en-GB>>
YEN Amount <<[AmountInYEN]:C:ja-JP>>

Example output:

GBP Amount: £100.00
YEN Amount :¥100

You are right.

LINQ Reporting Engine does not provide such functionality at the moment.

In addition to my previous comment, you can implement a custom static class providing formatting of a value as required and reference this class in a template then. See Setting up Known External Types for more information.
