Member.GetChildren Method (Int64, Int64, array<String[], array<MemberFilter[])

Returns a MemberCollection that contains a collection of child members for the Member. The returned object contains up to count members, begins at the position indicated by the start parameter, and is filtered by the filters parameters. Each member caches the properties indicated by the Array passed into the properties parameter. Note   For performance reasons, this overload should be used only if non-default member properties are needed. Default member properties include Name, UniqueName, Caption, ChildCount, Description, LevelDepth, LevelName, Parent, ParentLevel, and Type.

Parameters

  • start
    Type: System.Int64
    The position to begin returning members. This parameter is 0-based.
  • properties
    Type: array<System.String[]
    The properties to populate.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.MemberCollection
Returns a MemberCollection that contains a collection of members for the Member.

Remarks

A nonleaf member is associated with one or more members from lower levels in the hierarchy. For example, in a time dimension that contains the levels Year, Month, and Day, the members of the Day level are leaf members. Each member in the Year level is associated with 12 child members from the Month level, and each member in the Month level is associated with at least 28 child members from the Day level.

The GetChildren method returns a collection of Member objects that represents the child members associated with the Member.

Note

This property is not supported if the Member is referenced through a CellSet in order to retrieve metadata from a query.
