When I connect my database (SQL Server) as a data source, Power BI tells me that it is a SQL Server Analysis Service database, even though I don't want to connect an Analysis database at all, but just a normal SQL Server database.
My Code:
string dataSource = "LocalSQLServer";
dbWithDataSource.Model.DataSources.Add(new ProviderDataSource()
{
Name = dataSource,
Description = "A data source definition that uses explicit Windows credentials for authentication against SQL Server.",
ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI11;Data Source=MyDatabaseServer;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=false;",
ImpersonationMode = Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular.ImpersonationMode.ImpersonateAccount,
Account = @"AccountName",
Password = "password",
}
TOM is for Tabular Object Models, not sql server.
You're right. I have adjusted the initial post.
