Convert dates

Xavi

I need to convert the dates to a specific format, not just dd/mm/yyyy. Sometimes I need to show the date in Solar Calendar, other times in a serial number, other times in Gregorian calendar, Chinese calendar, .... I cannot use the localization system of .Net for because not all calendar systems are contemplated.

Is there a similar system to IValueConverter for FR fields? I would need to format the date fields in a custom function, not for the System.Globalization

Thank you

You may use own function (either added to a report script, or registered via RegisterObjects.AddFunction call). The function will take a DateTime a return a formatted string.

Yes, I know, in fact, it is how I solved it FR4. However, using the power of .Net I hoped that this new version offers a more sophisticated way, like Binding.Converter for forms.
The problem is that I need to add "FormatDate" function in all date boxes, for example "FormatDate([ds.EntryDate])". It is not too robust, it is easy to forget it, specially using the drag and drop feature.
Maybe in a future you can consider to add something.

Thank you
