OLAP AND XML

[User (Legacy)]

Hello,

I am testing the OLAP extension with Visual Basic .Net.

I can't use a database. I need to work with XML Files.

Where can I find the structure of the XML file?

I can't bind a XML file to the OLAP component.

Code:

1. Me.Chart1 = New SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Chart

2. Dim Olap1 As New SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Olap.WinForms.OlapExtension

3. Chart1.Extensions.Add(Olap1)

4.

5. Dim XmlOlap1 As New SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Olap.WinForms.XmlAnalysisData

6. XmlOlap1.Load("C:\olap.xml")

7. Olap1.DataSource = XmlOlap1

An error occurs in line 7: Object reference not set to an instance of an

object.

Thanks!

Unfortunately the OLAP extension does not have an API that allows you to set

the XML string. This is a simple feature for us to add so we should do it in

a future service pack.

The problem is that the XML structure we are prepared to handle is the one

generated by XML for Analysis. This is not a simple XML file if you want to

generate it manually.
