I use this in my IExtensionApplication derived class to load up necessary arx/dbx modules at loading time

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.SystemObjects.DynamicLinker.LoadModule("Whatever.arx",true,true);

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.SystemObjects.DynamicLinker.LoadModule("Whatever.arx",true,true);

Sure, here's a typical example of using IExtensionApplication interface to intialise some settings or load modules at the time of loading your .net dll

Code: [Select]

//created by MickD 4-1-05

using System;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;


//Set some metadata for autocad and other app's to see what they can use
[assembly:ExtensionApplication(typeof(DCS_3D.App))]
[assembly:CommandClass(typeof(DCS_3D.Commands))]

namespace DCS_3D


{
///
/// The entry point for Autocad, it get's called at least once
/// when you use 'Netload' to load and configure your application
/// There can only be one instance of inherited IExtensionApplication
/// per class library.
///
public class App : IExtensionApplication
{
public void
Initialize()
{
//Let the user know what's happening while loading your app
//You could also alert user of failed loading operations here.
Editor ed =
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;
ed.WriteMessage("\n Loading DCS_3D application...\n");

// Load any ARX/DBX modules we may require:
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.SystemObjects.DynamicLinker.LoadModule("AsdkHlrApi16.dbx",true,true);

}

public void
Terminate()
{
//Nothing to put here;

}
}
}
