title: WITSML api library for .Net / C# client apps?
body: <p>Witsml is an xml data and query standard used in the oil and gas drilling industry. It uses xml for both the data and the query templates when communicating with a server (over http). It's a bit of a mess to manually construct queries in xml, especially since the templates specify both what elements to return <em>and</em> how to filter them.</p>
  
  <p>I'm aware of some .net libraries that ease the client side of working with witsml (ie, by abstracting out the api into more of a object structure), but am curious if anyone has real-world experience working with these libraries and how well they perform. Any recommendations for what to use when building a .net application that needs to interact with a remote witsml server? </p>
  
  <p>UPDATE
  Adding links to the c# libraries I have found in existence:</p>
