OLAP and .Net

[Neil]

Hi,

Does anyone have any information or code samples about
retrieving data from an OLAP data source using .Net?

I would like to do this without utilising any COM
components...

Thanks

I don't know if its possible as yet to use OLAP without some level of
COM support (either OWC or ADOMX) - but there might be something out
there. Here is a link to an MSDN article with some neat tricks:

"Build an OLAP Reporting App in ASP.NET Using SQL Server 2000 Analysis
Services and Office XP"
