Topic: (AutoCAD) Help file for .NET?

[T.Willey]

Is there a help file for .NET (C#) like the VBA and ActiveX one that comes with AutoCAD.  I have one from ObjectARX, but it doesn't break it down like the other one does.

Thanks in advance.

I think I found what I'm looking for here.

Thanks.  I downloaded it.  Will look at it when I get some time to play.

It can be integrated in VS 2005 - very useful thing!

You have to buy that though, right?  I only program for fun right now, so I can't get my company to pay for it.  Will it work with the express version? or anyother free ide?  Thanks again.

I've not tested but think that it can be integrated in VS 2005 Express Edition too.

Now I've tested this help file with SharpDevelop IDE. It's OK! You need select menu Tools->Options->Tools->Help 2.0 Environment->ObjectARX Reference For DOTNET

Pardon my ignorance, but how would you go about doing that?

In any browser (for example: Internet Explorer) type: ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/dv_vscccommon/local/CollectionManager.htm

When I go to install it.   It says that it needs the .Net framework 2.0, which my company doesn't want me to install right now, will it work with 1.1?  I'm hesitant to install, so if you say it will, then I will.

Thanks for the help.

This help file is based on AutoCAD 2007 .NET API (AutoCAD 2007 is based on .NET 2.0). Many of objects and methods are not implemented in AutoCAD 2005-2006 .NET API (which based on .NET 1.1)

Does this mean I can't really use this? do I have to wait till I get 2007?

Thanks again for all your help.

You can using this help with AutoCAD 2005...2006 but need to compare help topic's with information from Object Browser in order to proper using of classes and methods. Not to wonder if you see that some classes in general not present in previous versions of AutoCAD.
