Properties

  Name Description
Public property AdjustTimeZone Whether to apply UTCToWarehouseTime conversions to the field
Public property AggregationFunction
Public property AttributeHierarchyEnabled
Public property DisplayFolderName The name of the Display Folder for this item in the Cube. Null or Empty String indicates no folder. Currently Display Folders are not translated.
Public property FormatString
Public property FriendlyName The Friendly Name. (Inherited from NamedItem.)
Public property GenerateETL Should this field be included in the auto-generated ETL for the relational warehouse? If it is not included it will not be in the autogenerated stored procedures. Any fields included in the stored procedures must be assigned a value when the stored procedure is called otherwise the row will will be updated to have NULL for that value.
Public property IncludeInRelationalInterface Include this field in the autogenerated Relational Interface (that is Fact Views). Default Value: True
Public property InstanceSelection
Public property IsNumeric Return whether the field is "logically numeric". Currently person fields are stored by using integer SK fields, but this property does not consider them numeric. This property *does* currently consider the SurrogateKey field to be numeric, although some users of the property may want to ignore it.
Public property IsPerson Denotes whether the field is a person field type
Public property IsString Return whether the field is a database string type.
Public property Length
Public property Name (Inherited from NamedItem.)
Public property Persistent Fields such as parent keys can be non-persistent to enable passing them to sprocs for lookup purposes without actually persisting them. Defaults to true.
Public property RelationalOnly
Public property SourceField The source of data for this field. This is used for Fact Fields - a fact field will give you a measure in measure group in the cube. This will be the source column in the DSV for this field.
Public property SqlDbType Convert the string attribute Type to a SqlDbType. FUTURE: Change Type to be a SqlDbType.
Public property Translation (Inherited from NamedItem.)
Public property Type
