Cube meta data on a web page

How do I access AS database meta data (cubes + properties) from an
asp.net page?
HansThere are several approaches you could use.
If you are looking for documentation, then nightly you could run the OLAP
Scribe utility (which generates a .doc file) -- and the link to the .doc
file from your asp.net application. That will give you pretty extensive
documentation.

If all you want is populate a list, then your asp.net application can use
OLAP Schema Rowsets, see Books On line for information on the topic.
As a third approach, if you know the database you want to connect to, then
you could use the Catalog object which is exposed via ADOMD.NET (see the
ADOMD.NET documentation on how to do that).

Hope that helps.
