ICSB 2005 Systems Biology Workbench - Tutorial

ICSB 2005 - SBW Tutorial ICSB 2005 Systems Biology Workbench – Tutorial This tutorial shows how an application is written that takes use of SBW modules. After detailing the software requirements the tutorial will begin with an example of writing a simple application accessing a simulator using the C# language. The second example will use python to simulate a model. Requirements The C# part of this tutorial will be performed using: • Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 (Professional Edition) • SBW 2.4.x http://public.kgi.edu/~fbergman/files/sbw/SetupSBW_2.4.x.exe • SBW Visual Studio Add-in: an/files/sbw/vsSBWSetup.msi • ZedGraph – graphing library http://www.sf.net/projects/zedgraph The second part of tutorial uses: • Python 2.4.x http://www.python.org • Numerical Python http://www.sf.net/projects/numpy • SBW 2.4.x http://public.kgi.edu/~fbergman/files/sbw/SetupSBW_2.4.x.exe One note on the SBW installer: The python bindings will only be installed if an installation of Python together with the according Numerical Python version is installed. Using C# to access a module 1. The first thing to do is to create a new project: File\New\New Project\Visual C# Projects\Windows Application 2. Once the new project has been created. The first thing to do is to set up the references we will use. In order to do so click on: Project\Add Reference… In the upcoming dialog click on Browse and navigate to the SBW installation directory ...
