Topic: Attach Drawing in Map 3D

[Muzza51]

I am getting a "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference" error with the following code which is straight out of the developers guide:

The offending code is:

Public Sub AttachDrawing()
        Dim aliasList As Aliases
        aliasList = Autodesk.Gis.Map.MapApplication.Aliases  'This is the line generating the error.

Any assistance in identifying where I am going wrong would be appreciated.

Are you using VS to write code? if yes, did you notice that after you enter "." following MapApplication, there is no interllisense prompt for you to choose a property called "Aliases"?

You should use HostMapApplicationServices' Application property (which is an instance of MapApplication) to reach Aliases:

Dim aliaseList As Aliases = Autodesk.Gis.Map.HostMapApplicationServices.Application.Aliases

Many thanks, that fixed it. That will teach me to cut and paste instead of typing it in.
