is there a free set of controls to be used for representing the OLAP cubes in aspx pages? something like the ones from Dundas, but free and (if possible) cross-browser.

Thanks, Lucian

The open source Ranet library might meet your needs. It uses Silverlight and is fully programmable. There are commercial licenses availalbe too if required.

We coded a web OLAP viewer in-house (ASP/HTML/JavaScript) and it was incredibly complex, and took a long time. The users simply demanded more features.

There is a MS Office v10 plug-in or ActiveX control you can slap on a web page to view a cube....I think it will work over HTTP, but you're going to get grief somewhere along the way, sorry.

    You're talking about Office Web Components which requires a valid Office license to use and only works in IE since it's an ActiveX component. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Web_Components – Craig Jan 22 '09 at 10:08

Currently we use JPivot which is actually Java and should be hosted inside an appserver, I'd suggest you search google a bit as there is bound to be an open source solution for what you want to do out there somewhere.

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/olap_viewer_software/ might help (first hit for google "OLAP Viewers ASP")
