A measure represents the data within a fact table that is being organized and aggregated by the cube.
In ADOMD.NET, the Measure represents the metadata for a measure within a cube. A measure is not explicitly identified in a cellset, because a measure is treated as a member for querying purposes and is represented by a Measure within the Measures collection of a CubeDef.
The following subroutine, given a CubeDef, iterates through the Measures collection and displays information for each Measure:
Public Sub ListMeasures(ByRef CubeToCheck As CubeDef)
' Check the parameter before performing actions on it.
If CubeToCheck Is Nothing Then
Throw New System.ArgumentNullException("CubeToCheck")
Else
' Iterate through the Measures collection of the
' CubeDef object.
Try
Dim measureToCheck As Measure
Debug.WriteLine("Found " & CubeToCheck.Measures.Count & _
" measure(s) in cube:")
For Each measureToCheck In CubeToCheck.Measures
Debug.WriteLine("Measure: " & measureToCheck.Name)
Debug.WriteLine(" Caption: " & _
measureToCheck.Caption)
Debug.WriteLine(" Description: " & _
measureToCheck.Description)
Next
Catch ex As AdomdConnectionException
' The connection could not be opened or was disconnected.
' This error can occur at any time, if the provider is
' disconnected from the server.
Debug.WriteLine(ex)
Throw ex
Catch ex As AdomdErrorResponseException
' A response is received from a provider which indicates an error.
Debug.WriteLine(ex)
Throw ex
Catch ex As AdomdUnknownResponseException
' A response has been returned from the provider that
' was not understood.
Debug.WriteLine(ex)
Throw ex
Catch ex As AdomdCacheExpiredException
' A cached version of an ADOMD.NET object is no longer valid.
' This error is typically raised when reviewing metadata.
Debug.WriteLine(ex)
Throw ex
Catch ex As AdomdException
' Any other error raised by ADOMD.NET.
Debug.WriteLine(ex)
Throw ex
Catch ex As Exception
' Any other error.
Debug.WriteLine(ex)
Throw ex
End Try
End If
End Sub
