Parameters

dataSource

The FlatDataSource instance to be initialized.

connection

The previously opened database connection.

queryString

The query string which defines the record selection criteria.

cubeGenerationParams

A CubeGenerationParameters which controls the manner in which the resulting datacube is generated.

fieldAttributeCallback

An optional delegate which provides the ability to specify attributes for the property descriptor that is created for the recordset column. This method is called when a PropertyDescriptor is created for a column in the recordset created from the query, passing the name of the column. The value returned from the method is used to specify the attributes for the corresponding "property".

This delegate makes it possible to use the 'ByCategory' setting for the HierarchyDimensionGrouping property of the CubeGenerationParameters class; by providing a CategoryAttribute in the returned array, similar properties can be grouped together based on their category.

Note that the BrowsableAttribute can be used to hide a database field from the property list, by specifying false for the 'browsable' constructor parameter.
