User variables - date ranges.

When I create and use a date range as a variable I do not seem to be able to change the date format. When it appears in the parameter panel it shows as dd/mm/yyyy and I would like to use the US convention of mm/dd/yyyy. That is what my users are familiar with.

I have looked through all the Stimulsoft settings and at the report properties and have yet to find a way to change it. Unlike other date fields I cannot use the Text format process.

I am hoping there is a universal way to handle the setting so all reports default to the common date format. I did try culture setting and that was not a solution.

Any suggestions concerning fixing this will be appreciated.

Thanks

If I understand the question correctly. The reports are designed on the desktop using the .net desktop designer. I move them to the web application which is currently VB.net/Asp.net/Webforms

The viewer is the one for webforms, the sTiviewer for webforms(? I think).

I am using the current version of Stimulsoft.

If I can resolve this it would be nice.

Hi John,

The issue has been confirmed for this viewer only, all other viewers handle that correctly when you change the report's culture to be en-US.
We will let you know in this topic when it is fixed.

Thank you,

Hi John,

Please check the latest build that is 2018.1.3. The problem has been fixed there and by changing the report culture, the order of the month/days will switch automatically according to the selected culture.

Thank you,
Edward
