I am looking for some free dotNET libraries which can be used to convert an OpenStreet .osm file to .shp shapefile.
I did Google, but mostly found either .exe files, or non.NET files.
Can you point me to the .NET libraries?

According to Shapefiles#Create_your_own_shapefiles there is at least one of the various osm2shp softwares written in C#, the osm2shp hosted at google code.

Thank you for the reply @scai. When trying to run the main .exe file, I am getting the same error message as reported in here:
https://code.google.com/archive/p/osm2shp/issues/8. Also when I try to open an .osm file by calling theOSM2SHP.osm.ReadFromFilemethod an error message appears:osm - Unknown attribute : copyright. It may be that the code is too old (written in 2008 for dotNET 2.0).– marcoCommented Jul 20, 2016 at 15:23 -
Do you know whether I can directly download the
shpfile from OpenStreet data? There is a webpage which explains how to download theosmfile from OpenStreet data:http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Downloading_data. This is why I thought I can convert it. But if I could directly download theshpfile, then I do not even need the osm2shp dotNET libraries. By the way, I do not want to use geofabrik.de as it does not allow download of the openstreet data by extent through url address, which is what I need.– marcoCommented Jul 20, 2016 at 16:58 -
It's called OpenStreetMap, not OpenStreet. OpenStreetMap doesn't offer shape files directly. However according to the wiki page already mentioned in my answer there are various third-party providers for shapefiles. Note that each of them might do different post-processings so the resulting shape files can be different.– scaiCommented Jul 20, 2016 at 17:18

Thank you for the correction @scai. I need dotNET libraries, not a desktop application nor a website. The link you provided contains two dotNET libraries:
osm2shpandGDAL/OGR. The first one having upper issues. With the GDAL/OGR I had the famous "missing drivers issue" even though the version is newer than 1.10.0:http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/67371/gdal-1-10-ogr2ogr-osm-unable-to-open-datasource.– marcoCommented Jul 20, 2016 at 22:50
