known about a dimension at the navigation state.

Members| All Members | Methods | Properties | |||
| Icon | Member | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Ancestors |
Gets the ancestors pertinent to this dimension.
|
| CompletePath |
Returns the complete path of the dimension values consolidating ancestors,
descriptor, and implicits in this order.
|
| Descriptor |
Gets the descriptor for this dimension.
|
| DimGroupId |
Gets the ID of the dimension group to which this dimension belongs.
|
| DimGroupName |
Gets the name of the dimension group to which this dimension belongs.
|
 | Equals(Object) | (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize()() | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode()() | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode()() is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType()() | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Id |
Gets the ID of the dimension.
|
| ImplicitLocations |
Gets the implicit dimension locations contained in this dimension.
|
| Intermediates |
Gets the intermediate non-navigable refinements that have been
selected and do not affect the query terms.
|
| IsImplicit()() |
Determines if the dimension is fully implicit.
|
| MemberwiseClone()() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name |
Gets the name of the dimension.
|
| RefinementParent |
Gets the refinements' parent value in this dimension.
|
| Refinements |
Gets the refinements available and retrieved in this dimension.
|
| Root |
Gets the root dimension value of this dimension.
|
| ToString()() | (Inherited from Object.) |
Remarks
A dimension is a collection of related dimension values
(DimVal objects), organized into a tree.
The top-most dimension value in a dimension tree is known as the
dimension root. A dimension root always has the same name as its dimension.
Each dimension can belong to only a single dimension group (DimGroup object). If a dimension is not assigned to an explicit dimension group, it is placed in an implicit dimension group of its own. These implicit groups have no name and an ID of zero.
