    string dataMember,
    TextGroupInterval textGroupInterval
)

Public Sub New(
    id As String,
    dataMember As String,
    textGroupInterval As TextGroupInterval
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
id	String	A String that specifies the dimension identifier. This value is assigned to the DataItem.ID property.
dataMember	String	A String that identifies the data item to which this Dimension should be bound. This value is assigned to the DataItem.DataMember property.
textGroupInterval	TextGroupInterval	A TextGroupInterval enumeration member that specifies the group interval for textual values. This value is assigned to the Dimension.TextGroupInterval property.

Remarks

The Dimension identifier passed via the id parameter is used to refer to this dimension in dashboard item filter criteria specified via the DataDashboardItem.FilterString property.

The data member identifier passed via the dataMember parameter should consist of the data table name and the column name, dot separated. For instance, the Street Address column from the Customers table is identified as “Customers.Street Address”.

If a data source has been specified in code, particular data fields can be custom objects. In this instance, the identifier is a chain of property names, like “Customers.City.Population”.

Note that aliases specified in the Query Builder are not used in data member identifiers. Use actual column names instead.
