Can't add commands with C#

(Originally posted in the ObjectARX group)

I've downloaded and compiled Jim Awe's MgdDbg sample project. AutoCAD
2005 (the one from MDT) does not recognize any of the commands in that
project.

I tried creating a simple project from scratch following the guidelines
laid out in the ObjectARX documentation. That didn't work either.

Any ideas?

 

Well, maybe not any of the non-obvious ones. I had to re-reference the MGDs
as well as the custom dbx wrapper then recompile. Then it works in vanilla
2005. HTH

I created a fresh project from scratch.

I then referenced the managed wrappers.

I used TLBIMP to create wrappers for the AutoCAD and ObjectDBX COM
libraries then referenced both of those.

Finally, I declared assembly attributes as shown in the ObjectARX
documentation.

Still no commands.

It would appear the managed API is not yet ready for prime time.

 

Hmmm....this ISN'T good! I'm getting ready to tackle my first 100% managed
project. I read your other post as well. Are you saying that none of the
managed ADN samples work that are run thru the command line?

Let's compare systems then Frank...I'm running XP SP1 and 1.1 for my
framework with VS2003. How about you? I have heard rumors of many oddities
with XP SP2. Can you send me one of your projects? Let me see if I can run
it in the plain 2005 -- ala non-MDT version?

That's it in a nutshell.

I've responded via email with a sample project.

I'm running Windows XP Pro, SP2 and Mechanical Desktop 2005.

 

Just to wrap up this thread for anyone else viewing, I put the jist of it
under the new post.

Frank, your app ran fine after redoing the MGD refs. I'd tend to lead
towards Jim's suggestion [other post] or XP Pro SP2 as the culprit.

Just out of curiosity, are you using VS 2002 or 2003?

 

Me, Tony? VS2003 Pro v7.1.3088, Framework 1.1 v1.1.4322, and XP Pro SP1
