Topic: Custom propertygrid UITypeEditor inside AutoCAD... Wierd

OK,

Toss this somewhere in your startup code for the ProjectEditor:

Code: [Select]

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += new ResolveEventHandler(CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve);

You're registering for an event - the AssemblyResolve event in particular, which occurs if resolution fails.

Then implement the event handler:

Code: [Select]

System.Reflection.Assembly CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve(object sender, ResolveEventArgs args)
{
string partialName = "YourAssemblyNameGoesHere";
if(args.Name.IndexOf(partialName) != -1)
return typeof(YourNamespace.YourEditorClass).Assembly;
else
return null;
}

...and you should be good to go.

AutoCAD's dialog if I'm dealing with drawings and want the preview image, also I think it's less confusing for the user. They're in acad so give 'em the acad open dialog.

[Glenn R]

...or is copying the dll files to the acad directory the way to go???

I never copy anything into acad's standard folder structure nor do I modify any of it's files...does that answer the question?

perfect... thanks, i never would have got that

and thanks for the tips on the dialogs, i totally agree with you about not touching autocad at all


Cheers and thanks again
