I am using Visual Studio 2015, the Microsoft Analysis Client Dll is version 11 which I have refrence, how ever when I import the namespace it state there is not a public member.

I simply want to open a adomd connection and issue the mdx query cmd. I cannot get passed opening the connection.

What I have tried:

see code below:

imports Microsoft.AnalysisServices.adomdclient
Imports System

Public Class _Default
    Inherits Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    End Sub

    Protected Sub GridView4_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e
As EventArgs) Handles GridView4.SelectedIndexChanged
        Get_Answer()
    End Sub
    Sub Get_Answer()
        Dim conn As New AdomdConnection("Data Source=SQLDEV1;Catalog=pl_360_ii")
        Dim cmd As String
        cmd = "SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Revenue Amount] } ON
COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( { [Shipment Date].[Shipment Year].&[2017] } )
ON COLUMNS FROM [pl_360_ii]) WHERE ( [Shipment Date].[Shipment
Year].&[2017] ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR,
FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS"
        Dim dataAdapter As New AdomdDataAdapter(cmd, conn)
        Dim ds As New DataSet()
        dataAdapter.Fill(ds)
        queryresultview.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
