In my reporting services' report I want to use localized data. The localized data is specified into a Resource.resx. I want to LET THE USER modify this resources.resx upon his needs. How can I solve this?

Hi Montanari, In Reporting Services, we can use custom code to retrieve the localized values. Below is great sample about this subject, I would suggest you reading this article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/reporting-services/SSRSReportLocalized.aspx Also, to add and edit resources in resource file, please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7k989cfy(VS.80).aspx Alternative, I would suggest you saving the localized values in a database, implementing a custom application for the end-users to input the localized values, and then using the custom code(or custom assembly) to retrieve the localized value. Using a user's application is more meanful than using Visual Studio to modify resources in resource file directly. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

I used the following tutorial: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/reporting-services/SSRSReportLocalized.aspx for localization with the SSRS Reports that I am currently working on. At the end of the tutorial, it states to copy the assembly file to the following two locations: Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies & Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting I am using Visual Studio 2008 & Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and there is no MSSQL.3 folder on my Windows XP machine. Where is the alternative location where I can copy the assembly file that I have created? I currently receive the following error message when trying to run the report without the assembly file in the MSSQL.3 folder: An error occurred during local report processing. The definition of the report 'Test Report' is invalid. Error while loading code module: 'SSRS.ResourcesEX, Version=1.0.0.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7ca0a9683eac85b7' Details: Could not load file or assembly 'SSRS.ResourcesEX, Version=1.0.0.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7ca0a9683eac85b7' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Help on this would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Joe
