New in Snowflake.net 2.1.5

 

New in Version 2.1.5 is support for Microsoft XMLA 1.1 SDK provider. Some language refinements have been for the French translations and the support for the text in the Paging section has been added.

 

Additions

 

Version 2.1 has had many changes related to the charting sub-component and security. Here is the list of changes:

1)   Support for application's Basic Auth, with credentials passed to XMLA.

UseBasicAuth design time property added.

 

2)   Support for XMLA Service Basic Auth with fixed user name & password.

XMLAUserName and XMLAPassword design-time properties added.

 

3) New property DisableColorsHardCoding. When set to true, levels darkening is disabled.

 

4) Explicit "NON EMPTY" expressions in MDX statement are preserved no matter of NonEmptyOnly property.

 

5) Chart categoryAxis={X,Y} property, determines mapping of MDX dataset axes to chart categories/data series. In Snowflake 2.0 it was fixed: X axis (also known as "COLUMN" or Axis0 in MDX expression ) was mapped to chart categories, and Y axis ("ROWS" or Axis1) was mapped to chart data series. New property is available as design-time property (Chart->Category Axis), from UI (Menu Option->Category Axis) and as run-time property (Snowflake.CategoryAxis). This option is specially useful for some kind of pie charts. If there's only one column in dataset (measure or other) and selected chartType is pie/pie3D, chart categoryAxis is always set to Y so pie slices are displayed as expected (not just one 100% item).

 

6) New design time property Chart->PieData labels = {percent, values, percentAndValue}. Pie charts resize themselves in order to make labels legible.

 

7) Upgraded legend legibility when legend is below plot area: legend is displayed in 3 columns when there is more than 8 legend entries.

 

8) New beveled charts look with shadowing (Chart->BeveledLook).

 

9) Chart->PercentDisplayCutOff property. This property is considerable when there's just one column or row in the dataset. Values under CutOff percent are grouped as "others".

 

10) New Chart->ValuesInLegend design-time property. When there's just one category and ValuesInLegend=true, data values are displayed in legend.

 

And here is the list of fixes in version 2.1:

1) Text (percent marks) in pie chart was too left sometimes, and it was truncated by the left edge of the chart.

2) Chart support for negative data values in the following chart types : column, column3D, line, line with markers, area, bar, bar3D. Stacked & pie chart types have no appropriate visual representation for negative values.
