I was modifying it to simplify the post. You're right @macumber, I corrected the path and everything is working. Thanks again for your support.

Thanks @macumber, even if I changed the code as you suggested, I couldn't get and warning and/or error message. I've edited the question and explained what I did.

I've closed the question and open a new one to continue the discussion on loading and modifying an .osm file from c#. I've also joined the slack channel. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

This question is continuation of my previous post. In that question, I resolved the issue of running Alpha1 test C# implementation with @macumber's helps. As he suggested and since the previous post getting massive, I'm posting the new question here.

I'm trying to load and modify an .osm file via OpenStudio C# binding using Visual Studio 2015. I've a "testModel.osm" file that is working via OpenStudio GUI without any problem. I'm using the following code segment to load it in C#.

Path path = new Path("C:\\Desktop\\testModel.osm");
OpenStudio.Model model = OpenStudio.Model.load(path).get();

and having the following exception O also changed the second line with the following two lines but still having the same exception

OpenStudio.VersionTranslator translator = new OpenStudio.VersionTranslator();
OpenStudio.Model model = translator.loadModel(path).get();

Note that execution of the following line alone is perfectly fine.

Path path = new Path("C:\\Desktop\\testModel.osm");

Thanks for your helps in advance.

Edit after @macumber's comment:

Thanks @macumber, I modify the implementation as in the following :

Path path = new Path("C:\\Desktop\\testModel.osm");
OpenStudio.VersionTranslator translator = new OpenStudio.VersionTranslator();
OpenStudio.OptionalModel optionalModel = translator.loadModel(path);
foreach(var i in translator.errors())
   {
       Console.WriteLine(i.logMessage());
   }
foreach(var i in translator.warnings())
   {
        Console.WriteLine(i.logMessage());
   }
if (optionalModel.is_initialized())
   {
        OpenStudio.Model model = optionalModel.get();
        Console.WriteLine("optional model is initialised");
   }
else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("optional model is not initialized");
    }

And here is the console output after executing the program :

Unfortunately, I couldn't get any error or warning message printed. How can we proceed ?

Thanks @macumber, I successfully load an idf file. However, still having issues to load and modify an osm file as explained in the modified question.

Thanks @macumber, I've tried your recommendations and edited the question with new issues.

An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in OpenStudio.dll

Additional information: The type initializer for 'OpenStudio.OpenStudioUtilitiesCorePINVOKE' threw an exception.

Any idea to fix this exception ?

I'm using OpenStudio 1.12.0 with EnergyPlusV8-5-0. There is no .sql file within Examples folder. Hence, I use one of .idf files to generate a, .sql file. Although a simple simulation model runs and generates outputs -including an .sql-file, code in the above returns the following exception : (see the next comment)

@MatthewSteen, I tried to add my post as a comment but due to its length, I couldn't do that. I believe that my post is highly related with the original question and the proposed answer.

Thanks @macumber for your answer but problem still exists. I've edited my question to give more insight and explain what I tried.

@David Goldwasser I need to directly interact with the OpenStudio API. Thanks in advance.

This solution worked for me. Better to re-check FATAL error.

None of above suggestions worked for me. In addition, where can I find API document for OpenStudio to be used from C# ?
