Example Invocation:

MDXRunner oMDXRunner = new MDXRunner();
IEnumerable<Dictionary<string,object>> listGrains = 
    oMDXRunner
        .setCube("[PerformanceCube]")
        .addWith("MEMBER [total] AS [Measures].[Clicks] + [Measures].[Actions]")
        .addDimension("[Advertising Dim].[Campaign Name].[Campaign Name]")
        .addDimension("[Calendar Time Dim].[Month].[Month]")
        .addMetric("[Measures].[Clicks]")
        .addMetric("[Measures].[Actions]")
        .addMetric("[Measures].[total]")
        .addFilter(new string[] { "[Advertising Dim].[Advertiser Name].&[937]", "[Advertising Dim].[Advertiser Name].&[1075]" })
        .executeMDX<object>("http://ssasserver.somecompany.com/ssas/msmdpump.dll", "Corp DW")
        ;
Debug.WriteLine(oMDXRunner.getMDX());
Debug.WriteLine(listGrains);

Example output from getMDX():

WITH MEMBER [total] AS [Measures].[Clicks] + [Measures].[Actions]
SELECT
NON EMPTY ([Advertising Dim].[Campaign Name].[Campaign Name],[Calendar Time Dim].[Month].[Month]) ON ROWS,
NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Clicks],[Measures].[Actions],[Measures].[total]} ON COLUMNS
FROM (SELECT {[Advertising Dim].[Advertiser Name].&[937],[Advertising Dim].[Advertiser Name].&[1075]} ON 0 FROM (SELECT FROM [PerformanceCube]))
