The following code should bring back a list of tags

private static void GetTags()
{
try
{
// open pi server connection
mySDK = new PISDK.PISDKClass();
myServer = mySDK.Servers["PI"];
myServer.Open(String.Empty);
string tagFilterSql = "pointsource='M'";
//string tagFilterSql = "tag='*power.meter*'";
PISDK.PointList myPointList = new PISDK.PointList();
//aSynch = new PISDKCommon.PIAsynchStatus();
myPointList = myServer.GetPoints(tagFilterSql, new PISDKCommon.PIAsynchStatus());
Console.WriteLine("Number of points: "+myPointList.Count.ToString());

}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
WriteToLog(ex.ToString(), true);
}
}

When I run it from the console I get the following:

C:\svn\VisualStudio\EnergyMeters\EnergyMeters\bin\Debug>energymeters
Number of points: 0

Here is the screenshot of the tags I should be getting back

I can't, as my version of the api requires two arguements, with no overload for one.

Hi Ben,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
That is what I was getting at in my earlier post. When you pass an asynch object the tag search is started but focus in your console app immediately returns to the point where you check the count property. When using asynch you need to check the status and wait until it has finished before checking the count. Using null performs the call synchronously so it waits for the tag search to complete before printing out the count. You are probably only talking about milliseconds of processing giving the wrong impression that the asynch code isn't working.

Hope this helps...

Rhys.
