Newbie Question: Using VIX and C# to automate Workstation

$

Hi,

 

I'm pretty new to VMWare VIX and C#, and am trying to decide the best appraoch to automating some workstation tasks. As far as I've read I seem to have a few options:

 

 

1. Use 'pure' VixCOM (steep learning curve)

 

 

2. Use a wrapper like VixWrapper or VixCOMWrapper.

 

 

My problem is that I have tried using VixWrapper, (attached as VixWrapper.cs), but am getting silly errors such as 'Object referance not set to instance of an Object' - I shudder as I ask this question, can someone take a look at my code and tell me what's up - I come from a Java backaground and as far as I'm concerned, I'm initialising the VixWrapper Object.

 

 

My code is attached as Program.cs

 

 

Every time I try to run it I get the error:

 

 

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to

an instance of an object.

 

 

It occurs on the line I call vix.open(pathToVM);

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

Jimmy
