Decision Support Objects Programmer's Reference
Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Analysis Services offers substantial opportunity for you to create and integrate custom applications. The server object model, Decision Support Objects (DSO), provides interfaces and objects that can be used with any COM automation programming language such as Microsoft® Visual Basic® (version 5.0 and later). Additionally, Microsoft Visual C++® programmers can use DSO. DSO objects support both early and late binding.
The Programmer's Reference provides detailed information about DSO for use in developing custom applications that interact with the Analysis server. For more information about other programming tools for Analysis Services, see Programming Analysis Services Applications.
