ExtendedFunctions

#ExtendedFunctions

This list allows the user specify additional SQL functions that should be included in the functions dropdown of the Fields tab. Learn more about UDFs (User Defined Functions).

Below is a sample global.asax using the ExtendedFunctions setting. The code block will appear within <script runat="server"> </script> tags within global.asax.

##Global.asax (C♯)

//main class: inherits DatabaseAdHocConfig or FileSystemAdHocConfig
public class CustomAdHocConfig : Izenda.AdHoc.DatabaseAdHocConfig
{
  // Configure settings
  // Add custom settings after setting the license key and connection string by overriding the ConfigureSettings() method
  public static void InitializeReporting() {
    //Check to see if we've already initialized.
    if (HttpContext.Current.Session == null || HttpContext.Current.Session["ReportingInitialized"] != null)
      return;
    AdHocSettings.LicenseKey = "INSERT_LICENSE_KEY_HERE";
    //Creates a connection to Microsoft SQL Server
    AdHocSettings.SqlServerConnectionString = "INSERT_CONNECTION_STRING_HERE";
    Izenda.AdHoc.AdHocSettings.AdHocConfig = new CustomAdHocConfig();
    AdHocSettings.ExtendedFunctions = new string[] { "[dbo].[SafeDivide]" };
    HttpContext.Current.Session["ReportingInitialized"] = true;
  }
