First Step into ADOMD.Net - Cannot reference Microsoft.AnalysisServices

Question

Can someone help me out please, as google is not providing the answers.

I've got a SharePoint 2007 setup which uses SQL Server 2008 R2 SSAS OLAP cubes via some web parts.

As a C# developer, Sharepoint is a nightmare, so I decided I needed to try to get to grips with just C# and OLAP interaction. My cubes all exist, and are working, so all I needed to do was create a simple C# App to get it all straight in my mind.

I've downloaded Microsoft.AnalysisServices v10.0.0.0 and I can see it sitting happily in my GAC, but I can't add a reference from within my Visual Studio 2010 C# 4.0 project. It's just notappearing. I've tried setting the app to use 3.5, but still no joy.

Any clues?

Have you added the reference for Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.dll located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\ADOMD.NET\100
