How Can I generate a rdl file from a mdx query in VB.net or C#.net?

Is there some methods to generate the rdl file or reporting html page from a given mdx query language
For instance, I have a mdx query:
select dim1.a on rows, dim2.b on columns from cub1
How can I generate the corresponding rdl file to generate report html page with VB.net or C#.net?

I know that one can use xmltextwriter to write the rdl file but it is a difficult work.Is there some internal class in Vistual Studio have some methods to generate the rdl file?

Thanks
