Remarks

The Execute method tries to run the command that is contained by the AdomdCommand. Depending on the format of the results returned by the provider, the Execute method returns either an AdomdDataReader or a CellSet. If the results cannot be formatted into either an AdomdDataReader or a CellSet, or if the provider returned no results, the method returns a null value.
