New in Snowflake.net 3.0

 

New Features:

 

·      Online Help

·      Multiple members selection in the slicer controls

·      Http Compression support for Snowflake-XMLA communication. Select compression type via new design-time property Data->HttpCompression. Default is "none". Another option is "gzip".

·      ASP.Net StateServer support

·      New design-time property Data->XMLATimeout (in milliseconds, default 10000)

 

Improved Features:

·      Edit axis via drag & drop is supported with IE >=5.0 (the old requirement was IE >5.5)

·      Events (BeforeUIAction, AfterUIAction) exposed by Snowflake are changed. Now they take arguments of specific type instead generic EventArgs, so a developer doesn't have to cast them in event method code any more.

 

Example of changed events:

private void Snowflake1_BeforeUIAction(object sender, SnowflakeNS.Snowflake.BeforeUIActionEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Action=="EditSlice" & e.ActionPara=="[Gender]")

{

e.Cancel=true;

e.CancelExplanation="Performed action is forbidden";

// CancelExplanation will be displayed on the top of the Snowflake control

// if VerboseErrors desgin-time property is set to true

}

}

private void Snowflake1_AfterUIAction(object sender, SnowflakeNS.Snowflake.AfterUIActionEventArgs e)

{

if (e.QueryChanged)

this.TextBox1.Text+="! ";

this.TextBox1.Text+=e.Action + " " + e.ActionPara+"\n";

}

 

·      SF MDX parser now supports MDX comments. Following comment styles are supported: "/* */", "--", "//" . However, comments are not preserved during IO operation.

 

·      SF MDX parser now support MDX sentences with ON ROWS (or Axis(1)) expression preceding ON COLUMNS (or Axis(1)) expression.

 

·      MDX parser is upgraded to support MDX key words as substrings of member names. For example, "With Member Time.MySELECT...". Also MDX key words doesn't have to be separated by spaces any more. For example:

 

"Select[Time].Members..."

...is a regular MDX expression for Snowflake 2.9.

 

·      Slice edit links (arrows) removed in Print View.

 

 

Resolved Bugs:

·      The context menu was not positioned properly for SF inside DIV.

 

·      A slice member with dot in the name wasn't displayed correctly.
