Hi there, I am in need of assistance with Tia Openness and creating libraries and FBs using C#. I am comfortable with C# programming but struggling with Tia Openness integration. The available manual has not been helpful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Elsayed.
What is your motivation for pursuing this goal?
L D[AR2 inquired about the reason behind the urgency, asking "Why do you need to do this?" My company requires it urgently, making it a top priority for me.

Additionally, there is a developed code available for use on GitHub. You can find the Siemens TIA Portal Code Generator via the Openness Interface at this link: https://github.com/mking2203/CodeGeneratorOpenness. Cheers!
Hi Elsayed, I've also had my fair share of struggle with Tia Openness integration initially. One way that helped me a lot was through plenty of hands-on practice. You can try creating simple library objects then progressively work your way up. Additionally, a tool I found quite useful is the TIA Selection Tool, which allows you to simulate and test your program virtually. YouTube tutorials are also a nice resource if you're in a bind. Just remember to take it step by step - understanding Tia Openness is not a sprint, it's a marathon. Good luck!
Hi Elsayed! You're in luck, I've been working with TIA Openness and C# for quite some time. It can be tricky to initially get started because there's a bit of a learning curve with integrating the two. Key aspects include understanding the TIA Openness Object Model and utilizing the API adequately. What specific problems are you encountering? Maybe we can walk through them one at a time. Just a pointer, make sure the TIA portal interface application is closed while your TIA Openness programs are running; they don't seem to like each other very much.
