Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.PivotGrid.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.PivotGrid.Core, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

public class PivotGridXmlaDataSource :
    OLAPDataSourceBase

VB.NET

Public Class PivotGridXmlaDataSource
    Inherits OLAPDataSourceBase

Remarks

The PivotGridXmlaDataSource class is obsolete. To bind a pivot grid to an OLAP cube via the XMLA data access standard, set the pivot grid’s OLAPDataProvider property to XMLA and assign the connection string to the OLAPConnectionString property (see the example below).

To learn more, see Binding to OLAP Data Sources.

Tip

You need an IIS server with a data pump configured on it to serve as a proxy to bind a PivotGridControl to an OLAP server via XMLA.

Documentation: Configure HTTP Access to Analysis Services on IIS 8.0

Example

This example demonstrates how to add connection settings to the Adventure Works cube on the OLAP server.

View Example

To bind the Pivot Grid control to an OLAP cube, follow the steps below.

1. Set the PivotGridControl.OLAPDataProvider property to Xmla.
2. Specify connection settings in the PivotGridControl.OLAPConnectionString property. The following connection string is used in this example:

   OLAPConnectionString = Data Source=http://demos.devexpress.com/Services/OLAP/msmdpump.dll;" +
               "Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW Standard Edition;Cube Name=Adventure Works";
   

   Note that a valid connection string should include the following parameters: Provider, Data Source, Initial Catalog, and Cube Name.

            pivotGridControl1.OLAPDataProvider = OLAPDataProvider.Xmla;

            // Configures a data connection.
            // Specifies a string that encapsulates connection parameters 
            // required to access the desired OLAP cube.
