CreateObject (clsServer)

Note

  This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.

The CreateObject method of an object of ClassType clsServer creates and returns an object of the specified ClassType and SubClassType.

Syntax

objRet = object.CreateObject(ObjectType As ClassTypes, [SubClassType As SubClassTypes = sbclsRegular])

Parameters

  • objRet
    A Decision Support Objects (DSO) object of the type to be created.

  • objectr
    An object of ClassType clsServer.

  • ObjectType
    The class type of the object to be created. A member of the ClassTypes enumeration.

  • SubClassType
    Optional. The subclass type of the object to be created. A member of the SubClassTypes enumeration. Default is sbclsRegular.

Remarks

When you are using DSO to construct major objects such as cubes, partitions, dimensions, and so on, use the AddNew method instead. The AddNew method creates an object of the appropriate ClassType in a collection and initializes its Name and Parent properties.

Example

Use the following code to create an object of type clsCube:

' Assume objServer is a server object and objDB is a database object
Dim objCube as New DSO.MDStore
Set objCube = objServer.CreateObject(clsCube)
objCube.Name = "NewCube"
objDB.MDStores.Add objCube
