Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 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 Decision Support Objects Reference provides detailed information about DSO for use in developing custom applications that interact with the Analysis server. .
