I need a little bit of code to get the last processed date for the cube that my site connects to:

Public Function GetCubeLastProcessedDates(ByVal AnalysisServer As String) As Collection(Of CubeInfo)
    Dim result As Collection(Of CubeInfo)
    Dim identity As WindowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()
    Dim eCode As Integer = CommonUtility.RevertToSelf()
    Dim oServer As New Server
    Try
        result = New Collection(Of CubeInfo)
        oServer.Connect(String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "data Source = {0};", AnalysisServer))

        For Each d As Database In oServer.Databases
            For Each c As Cube In d.Cubes
                result.Add(New CubeInfo(d.Name, c.Name, c.LastProcessed))
            Next
        Next

        oServer.Disconnect()
    Catch e As ConnectionException
        ' Do some error handling
    Catch e As AdomdErrorResponseException
        ' Do some error handling
    Catch e As AdomdConnectionException
        ' Do some error handling
    Catch e As Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AmoException
        ' Do some error handling
    Catch e As Exception
        Throw
    Finally
        oServer.Dispose()
        identity.Impersonate()
    End Try
    '------------------------------
    Return result
End Function

The only problem I have with this is that while it takes no longer than 5 seconds to return a negative result, it can take as much as 30 seconds to return when in the positive (i.e. you can access the cube).

This makes it a threading only, and more than that, a nice to have only. If this is critical information then you will just have to wait…
