How can I connect to SQL Server 2005 analysis services server programmatically?

Hi, all here,

Would please anyone here give me any idea about how can I connect to SQL Server 2005 analysis services server and send XML request to it programmatically (with Business intelligence development studio in SQL Server 2005)? Thanks a lot.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,
