Select IFC Physical Simple Quantity of Wall

I'm using XBim IFC libraries in order to get some info of a Building model elements.
Specifically, of IfcWall entities.
I have to acces Wall Base Quantities (lenght, height, width, etc.) but I cant reach those properties from IfcWall class.
I have this class:
using Dapper;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Xbim.Ifc;
using Xbim.Ifc4.ActorResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.DateTimeResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.ExternalReferenceResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.PresentationOrganizationResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.GeometricConstraintResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.GeometricModelResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.GeometryResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.Interfaces;
using Xbim.Ifc4.Kernel;
using Xbim.Ifc4.MaterialResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.MeasureResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.ProductExtension;
using Xbim.Ifc4.ProfileResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.PropertyResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.QuantityResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.RepresentationResource;
using Xbim.Ifc4.SharedBldgElements;
namespace ProcesadorPremoldeado.IFC
{
public class IFCCalculos
{
public void CalculoPlacas(string fileName, XbimEditorCredentials editor)
{
using (var model = IfcStore.Open(fileName, editor))
{
using (var transaction = model.BeginTransaction("Quick start transaction"))
{
//get all Walls in the model
var ifcWallsList = model.Instances.OfType<IfcWall>();
foreach (var wall in ifcWallsList)
{
var prop = wall.PhysicalSimpleQuantities.Where(x=>x.Name=="Height");
}
transaction.Commit();
}
}
}
}
}
That lambda expression return me a row, correctly filtered by Name parameter, as this property is accessible.
But I cant access the property call "LengthValue", the strange thing is that the property is visible during debbugin if I put a breakpoint, under "prop" list in the foreach loop.
Anyone could give me an idea of what could be happening?
Thanks in advance!

This is because LengthValue is a property of IfcQuantityLength, but PhysicalSimpleQuantities are of supertype IfcPhysicalQuantity. You just need to select quantities of the right type
var height = wall.PhysicalSimpleQuantities
.OfType<IfcQuantityLength>()
.Where(x=>x.Name=="Height")?
.LengthValue;

Dapper 'Query' not recognised

The 'connection.Query' does not prompt for Dapper using statement. Dapper has been installed several times. I've tried entering the using statement 'using Dapper' but it's underlined in red saying:
Dapper namespace could not be found
Why is it happening?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace DataAccessLibrary
{
public class SQLDataAccess
{
public List<T> LoadData<T, U>(string sqlStatement, U parameters, string connectionString)
{
using (IDbConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
List<T> rows = connection.Query<T>(sqlStatement, parameters).ToList();
}
}
}
}

I'm embarrassed to say i installed Dapper into the wrong project in my application. I assumed (never assume, always check) wrongly that the installation would be seen throughout my app.
Problem solved.

What reference should I use for 'Data.ValueRange'?

I'm following a guide to write output data from Visual Studio into a google spreadsheet.
At the end of the guide there is a code block that I pasted inside my project:
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System;
using NUnit.Framework;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Google.Apis.Sheets.v4;
using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2;
using System.IO;
using Google.Apis.Services;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using WikipediaTests.Foundation_Class;
using System.Web;
using System.Data;
using Google.Apis.Sheets.v4.Data;
namespace AutomationProjects
{
[TestFixture]
public class TestClass : TestFoundation
{
public class SpreadSheetConnector
{
//Codeblock from guide pasted here!
}
[Test]
public void test1()
{
//Test case 1. Do XYZ...
}
}
}
In the code block included in the guide there is a section about creating a list and passing data into it:
// Pass in your data as a list of a list (2-D lists are equivalent to the 2-D spreadsheet structure)
public string UpdateData(List<IList<object>> data)
{
String range = "My Tab Name!A1:Y";
string valueInputOption = "USER_ENTERED";
// The new values to apply to the spreadsheet.
List<Data.ValueRange> updateData = new List<Data.ValueRange>();
var dataValueRange = new Data.ValueRange();
dataValueRange.Range = range;
dataValueRange.Values = data;
updateData.Add(dataValueRange);
Data.BatchUpdateValuesRequest requestBody = new Data.BatchUpdateValuesRequest();
requestBody.ValueInputOption = valueInputOption;
requestBody.Data = updateData;
var request = _sheetsService.Spreadsheets.Values.BatchUpdate(requestBody, _spreadsheetId);
Data.BatchUpdateValuesResponse response = request.Execute();
// Data.BatchUpdateValuesResponse response = await request.ExecuteAsync(); // For async
return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(response);
}
The problem is that I get an error for the 'Data.ValueRange' and the 'Data.BatchUpdateValuesRequest' :
CS0246 The type or namespace name 'Data' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I tried adding "System.Data" as a assembly reference to my project and then added it at the top (using). But it did not remove the error.
'Data.' seems to belong to "Google.Apis.Sheets.v4" but I have already added that reference as the guide instructed.
The only fix that gets rid of the error is adding Google.Apis.Sheets.v4 before every 'Data.' like this:
List<Google.Apis.Sheets.v4.Data.ValueRange>
But when I run my tests the output does not get exported to my spreadsheet. So I'm assuming this is not the correct solution. And also I'm assuming that the guide should have included this in the code block if it was necessary.
Could there be some other reference about 'Data' I need?

According to the documentation, the ValueRange Class depends of Sheets.v4.Data, so you should add:
using Google.Apis.Sheets.v4.Data;
Also, change:
List<Data.ValueRange> updateData = new List<Data.ValueRange>();
to:
List<ValueRange> updateData = new List<ValueRange>();

Linq and localhost, entity namespace is different than program namespace but still get error

I have tried to search for this but every example I find has a problem like them actually having the same namespace as their class or something.
I am simply trying to start using Linq. When I add new item Host is localhost. I have my database in Visualstudio and my project name is different than the DataContext name but I can't get it initialized. I get error:
'LinkedContext' is a namespace but is used like a type'
here is code...
namespace TryAgain
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
LinkedContext db = new LinkedContext();
}
}
}
LinkedContext doesn't work? In settings of the Database Diagram it says the Entity Namespace is 'LinkedContext' So what am I missing. I thought I saw you could run that one line of code to connect your database that is already in VisualStudio due to adding a new item and then start playing with it? I just want to be able to practice with a database! Do stuff like:
var example = from x in example.Table
orderby x.field
select x;

you need using LinkedContext at the top of your file. the error you’re getting is telling you LinkedContext is a namespace but you’re treating like a type, ie a class. once you define it at the top you can then use the type that you need within that namespace.

added "using LinkedContext" to the top of code then also had to use LinkedDataContext not just LinkedContext:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using LinkedContext;
namespace TryAgain
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
LinkedDataContext db = new LinkedDataContext();
var example = from x in db.employees
orderby x.employee_id
select x;
foreach (var whatever in example)
{
Console.WriteLine(whatever.name);
}

Im getting exception Typeload what the exception can be?

I added as reference 3 dll's: Google.Apis , Google.Apis.Translate.v2 , System.Runtime.Serialization
In Form1 i have one line:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
Translator.translate(new TranslateInput());
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
Now the error the exception is on the first line in the class Translator:
The line that throw the error is: var service = new TranslateService { Key = GetApiKey() };
The class code is:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
using System.Web;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
using Google.Apis.Util;
using Google.Apis.Translate.v2;
using Google.Apis.Translate.v2.Data;
using TranslationsResource = Google.Apis.Translate.v2.Data.TranslationsResource;
public class Translator
{
public static string translate(TranslateInput input)
{
// Create the service.
var service = new TranslateService { Key = GetApiKey() };
string translationResult = "";
// Execute the first translation request.
Console.WriteLine("Translating to '" + input.TargetLanguage + "' ...");
TranslationsListResponse response = service.Translations.List(input.SourceText, input.TargetLanguage).Fetch();
var translations = new List<string>();
foreach (TranslationsResource translation in response.Translations)
{
translationResult = translation.TranslatedText;
}
return translationResult;
}
private static string GetApiKey()
{
return "AIzaSyCjxMe6RKHZzd7xSfSh2pEsBqUdXYm5tA8"; // Enter Your Key
}
}
/// <summary>
/// User input for this example.
/// </summary>
[Description("input")]
public class TranslateInput
{
[Description("text to translate")]
public string SourceText = "Who ate my candy?";
[Description("target language")]
public string TargetLanguage = "fr";
}
The error is:
Could not load type 'Google.Apis.Discovery.FactoryParameterV1_0' from assembly 'Google.Apis, Version=1.1.4497.35846, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
Tried to google for help and also tried to change the project type to x64 platform but it didnt help. So i put it back on x86
I have windows 7 64bit visual studio c# 2010 pro .net 4.0 profile client.
Cant figure out what is the error ?

This error as reported in the above-posted messages is due to a local copy in the bin\Debug folder of your solution or project. Even though you attempt to clean your solution, such copies will persist to exist.
In order to avoid this to happen, you have to force Visual Studio to refer to the correct DLL by adding reference paths within a project properties. Unfortunately, if you got several projects within your solutions, you will have to set the reference paths for the projects one after another until completed.
Should you wish to know how to setup reference paths follow these simple instructions:
1.Select your project, right-click, then click "Properties";
2.In the project properties, click "Reference Paths";
3.Folder, type or browse to the right location of your DLL, click [Add Folder].
You will need to perform these steps for as many different locations you may have for each of your DLLs. Consider setting an output path under the Build tab of the same project properties, so that you may output your DLLs in the same directory for each of them, thus assuring you to find all the latest builds under the same location, simplifying forward your referencing.
Note this can only be one reason for this error. But it is sure that is has to do something with a wrong copy of the mentioned assembly.
