Utility methods for dealing with Cube multidimensional tables (OLAP style). Enables iterating within dimensions, obtaining cell count for dimension sizes etc.. Cubes can be 1-dimensional to n-dimensional and these utility methods deal with this variety.

The following tables list the members exposed by the CubeDimensionHelper type.

Public Methods

  NameDescription
Equals
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
static memberGetDimensionSizes
Compile an array of dimension sizes. The array contains as many elements as there are dimensions. The size of each dimension is returned in each array element. For example, a return value of [2,3,4] denotes a 3 dimensions where the first dimension has 2 members, the second dimension has 3 members, and the 3rd dimension has 4 members.

GetHashCode
Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode() is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
(Inherited from Object.)
static memberGetOrdinal
Given index values for each dimension and all dimension sizes this method returns an ordinal value. For example, for dimensionIndizes [1, 4, 3] and sizes [2, 5, 4] the ordinal is 1 + 4 * 2 + 3 * 10.

static memberGetTotalCells
Returns the number of cells in a cube that has the given dimension sizes.

GetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
static memberNextIndize
Increments the index values in the dimensionIndizes array given each dimension's size. For example, if dimension sizes are [3, 2, 4] then the indizes follow this order: [0,0,0] [1,0,0] [2,0,0] [0,1,0] ... [1,0,3] [2,0,3] [0,1,3] [1,1,3] [2,1,3] This example shows indize Start and end ranges.

ToString
Returns a String that represents the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)

Protected Methods

  NameDescription
Finalize
Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
MemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
