Youcan You can create OpenMI-compliant components using only the official OpenMI standard, which can be downloaded from http://www.openmi.org.

When you download the SDK you simply get a zip-file with the full source code. Only the OpenMI Standard assembly is compiled for you (OpenMI.Standard.dll). Once you start using the SDK it becomes your source code. It is therefor recommended that you change the namespaces to your namespace. One easy way to do this is to use TextPad (can be downloaded for free from http://www.textpad.com/). TextPad has a facility to search and replace in multiple files, so simply find all files of type *.cs and *.proj and drag them into TextPad and subsequently replace all occurrences of "Oatc" with you your name.
The SDK is tested with NUnit unit test. When you open the Oatc.OpenMI.Sdk.sln solution file your will see a large number of unit test projects. So, in order to compile the solution file you need to install the NUnit test software on your PC. This can be downloaded from http://nunit.org. Additionally you can use the http://www.testdriven.net software, which will allow you to run unit tests from within your development environment, however, this will not work if you are using the express version of the visual studio.

You may also find it useful to download the OpenMI configuration editor from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmi/. Loading your OpenMI-compliant component into the configuration editor isan is an easy way to make the first test.
