Remarks

In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS), a cube is a collection of measures and dimensions.

In ADOMD.NET, the CubeDef represents only the metadata of a cube. You cannot retrieve cell data from a CubeDef; instead, this object provides a mechanism for retrieving metadata about a given cube as well as its dimensions, measures, and named sets for a client application.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
