  • It is possible to data bind MSChart to the OLAP cube but you need to take care of generating the MDX query and processing the results. Chart is just a view and is not aware that ii is connected to the cube. Dundas OLAP Services product provides additional functionality which takes care of cube conection and provides interactive user interface.

  • Sadly Dundas OLAP Services are no more.  Dundas had up until October 31st 2010 to sell their charting components, including the OLAP services one.  As far as I am aware the MSChart components are based on the Dundas code.  However, Dundas OLAP services are now lost to the world.  Easily the best Ajax cube browser I have seen. What have Microsoft done with it?  RIP.
