This article describes what needs to be done if you want to create an application that uses the OpenDAModelProvider interface of deltashell to work with DS models. I created a windows forms application using the 'zip' file from the nightly build.
Setup
1 Create a folder called D:\ODA
2 Download deltashell.zip and extract it to D:\ODA\shell
Creating the application
3 Create a windows forms application called 'Runner' in D:\ODA\Runner
3.1 Add references to the following assemblies :
Located in D:\ODA\shell\plugins\DeltaShell.Plugins.OpenDA
DeltaShell.Plugins.OpenDA
OpenDA.DotNet.AdditionalInterfaces
D:\ODA\shell\release
OpenMI.Standard2
DelftTools.Shell.Core
DelftTools.Units
DelftTools.Utils
DeltaShell.Core
So your references look like this
Add a button to the form and add the following code to it:
var provider = new DeltaShell.Plugins.OpenDA.DeltaShellOpenDAModelProvider(); provider.Initialize(@"D:\ODA", "settings.xml"); var instance = provider.CreateInstance(); provider.SaveInstance(instance);
