Example
The following subroutine, given a CubeDef, iterates through the DimensionCollection collection and displays information about each dimension:
Public Sub ListDimensionCollection(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 Dimensions collection of the
' CubeDef object.
Try
Dim dimToCheck As Dimension
Debug.WriteLine("Found " & CubeToCheck.Dimensions.Count & _
" dimensions in cube:")
For Each dimToCheck In CubeToCheck.Dimensions
Debug.WriteLine("Dimension: " & dimToCheck.Name)
Debug.WriteLine(" Caption: " & _
dimToCheck.Caption)
Debug.WriteLine(" Description: " & _
dimToCheck.Description)
Debug.WriteLine(" UniqueName: " & _
dimToCheck.UniqueName)
Debug.WriteLine(" The dimension " & _
IIf(dimToCheck.WriteEnabled = True, "is", "is not") & _
" write-enabled.")
