Currently while the OpenStudio API support many languages, including C#, measures are specifically written in Ruby. Work is being done to also support Python for formal measures. Because measures can be run with the OpenStudio CLI to run a workflow of 1 or more measures, you can run measures from any language that supports system calls. The point of me mentioning this, is that there are very few Ruby methods used in a measure. Your framework can be C# and using the CLI and you can still make use of measures. If need to do your model manipulation in C# then you can still do that, but just with loose scripts instead of formal measures.
