Hello all,

Im making a custom report engine in .net that will format and moved columns on dynamically create text fields with their corresponding width and heights, nothing too crazy. It works great in English ! but as asoon as i change run this on a German OS the report Sizes are all out of wack. Bands are double their lengths etc, im sure it has to do with the difference in comma separator, is there a easy way to fix this?

Hello,

I think problem in report unit. By default on English system used Inches. For German default unit is Centimeters.

Thank you.

Hello,

Please use the following line of code:

Code: Select all

            StiOptions.Engine.DefaultUnit = StiReportUnitType.Inches;

Thank you.
