Namespace:  Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdServer
Assembly:  msmgdsrv (in msmgdsrv.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class CubeDef _
    Implements IDisposable, IMetadataObject
'Usage
Dim instance As CubeDef

public sealed class CubeDef : IDisposable, 
    IMetadataObject

public ref class CubeDef sealed : IDisposable, 
    IMetadataObject

[<SealedAttribute>]
type CubeDef =  
    class
        interface IDisposable

    end

public final class CubeDef implements IDisposable, IMetadataObject

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.
