Can anyone explain in a nutshell exactly what this means.
I think it means the non .NET files.
-
Which word, COM or Interop ?
Have you tried Googling it?
In a sentence, 'COM Interop' means the ability for COM and .NET objects
to interoperate (e.g., use each other).
Can anyone explain in a nutshell exactly what this means.
I think it means the non .NET files.

No, I try not to use google when a specialist forum exists.
-
without trying to speak for others, this 'specialty' forum specialises mainly in autocad customisation. COM and interop are not autocad specific, they are .net specific so any help you can get form outside I'd advise you to take a look at, you might be able to help someone here with it as well ;)

I've seen it mentioned on here. And I think its easier for me to ask questions on here, then follow that up with research when i am better equipped to filter out the endless google articles.
All I want is a basic example/definition coming from people who have achieved what I want to achieve. You type COM into google and there goes your weekend.

First result of a Google search for "COM Interop"....... IS THIS (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kew41ycz(VS.71).aspx) .... which, I believe, will answer your question.

Have you tried searching on here?? -> http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?action=search2
It may save having someone repeat themselves.

My apologies if my attitude seems to be lacking in respect. I'm just so keen to learn everything from programming, to Microstation to aspects of civil engineering, I am a bit hasty,
Thanks for your continued responses and I hope you understand why I don't use google unless necessary.
-
Again, the google example could be simpler and this site has many, many posts with com interop in.
I think I'll just leave it there. Thanks, though.

As there are many samples here, try and put something together, if you are having trouble I'm sure someone would be glad to help. Just remember that no one likes to do your homework for you, apart from that, piecing together code snippets can be one of the quickest ways to learn what does and doesn't work ;)
Don't rush your learning, you may miss something important ;)
good luck.

Thanks Mick.
There is no homework, and like you mention, I am learning a lot from piecing code together. This is how I have come across COM and Interop. I just wanted a basic outline with pertinence to their generic and CAD usage.
I am not yet fully up to speed with the attitude and etiquette of this forum; I will try my best from now on. Although I do feel a newbies sticky thread may be very beneficial.

No prob's wannabe.
That's the problem though, on what do you base an example?? Most of the code here would pass as an example so perhpas pick a piece and point out the bits you are having trouble with and I'm sure you will have plenty of willing tutors to help you.
The .net and ARX sdk is quite large and diverse and not that easy to understand for a while so more specific problems are easier to tackle ;)
cheers,
Mick.

Thanks, Mick. Your advice is already helping.
