'Declaration Public Property HierarchyDimensionGrouping As HierarchyDimensionGrouping
public HierarchyDimensionGrouping HierarchyDimensionGrouping {get; set;}
By default, only one dimension is created for the data source, and each hierarchy appears as a child of that dimension.
Use this property to control the way hierarchies are associated with DimensionDescriptors.
Note that when setting the Rows, Columns, or Filters properties of a FlatDataSourceInitialSettings instance, the hierarchy names must be fully qualified, using the following form:
[Dimension].[Hierarchy]
Because the HierarchyDimensionGrouping property determines the dimension name, a fully qualified hierarchy name can vary for different settings of the property. For example, assume we have a class named 'Foo', with a property name 'Bar'; also assume that the 'Bar' property is decorated with a Category attribute named 'FooBar'. The following table outlines the different forms of the fully qualified hierarchy names resulting from each HierarchyDimensionGrouping property setting:
| HierarchyDimensionGrouping | Qualified Name | |
| AllInOne | [Foo].[Bar] | |
| ByCategory | [FooBar].[Bar] | |
| Separate | [Bar].[Bar] |
