Get Analysis Services Version string in c#.net 2.0

Hi

I want to get the version string for AS 2000 and 2005 in c#. Can I use the same object model to connect to both or do I need one for each. I saw a reference to DSO 8.5 which implied you could.

Either way could you let me know what DDL I should reference in Visual Studio.

Thanks

Steve

If you are using Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient then you can use AdomdConnection.ServerVersion property to obtain textual representation of the version. If you use System.Runtime.InteropServices.Version object then you can construct one to parse such things like major and minor numbers.

It works for AS2005 and AS2000.|||Works a treat Andrew thanks
