I would say no. There’s a few questions on here looking for that, asking for the ORM equivalent for SSAS and such. LINQ to MDX would be lovely, but so far as is known it’s just not on the cards.
I’ve been looking and pondering for years for something simple in code to get data back to the middle tier, but I’ve never found it. Things like AdomdDataReader and CellSet are OK, but require hand-written MDX, there’s no easy way around it.
Sorry for the bad news, if anyone can prove me wrong I’d be overjoyed :/
