You can write your function on the Code tab in the begin of report, for example:

Code: Select all

namespace Reports
{
    public class Report : Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport
    {
		
		public string DateToHijri(object date)
		{
			System.Globalization.HijriCalendar hijri = new System.Globalization.HijriCalendar();

			DateTime greg = (DateTime)date;
			int year = hijri.GetYear(greg);
			int month = hijri.GetMonth(greg);
			int day = hijri.GetDayOfMonth(greg);

			return day.ToString() + "/" + month.ToString() + "/" + year.ToString();
		}

Thank you.

Is there a generic solution for this issue i have a system that display in Gregorian and i want to add to a generic option to display in hijri without going to every report in the system. i have about 200 reports.

Hello,
I found a solution to convert culture before render
Dim C As New Globalization.CultureInfo("ar-SA")
Dim TheCalendar As New System.Globalization.HijriCalendar
C.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = TheCalendar
Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = C

Report.Render
'Then return original culture
