Accessing SSAS Instance Configuration Info via Powershell

Over the past few months I've been working on a lot of scripts for collecting SSAS-related configuration and performance information. So far, most of the scripting has been done via PowerShell (which I'm really starting to appreciate) but on a few rare occasions I've had to dip my toes into the ridiculously silly world of .NET . not enough to appreciate application developers (jk'ish) .but definitely enough to realize that the IDE for .NET developers is insanely better than anything I've seen/used for SQL/MDX/DAX/PowerShell developers.
