Read AutoLISP Global Variables from VB.NET

Is there a way to read AutoLISP Global Variables from within a VB.NET application in AutoCAD 2005? If so how?

My goal is to take the AutoLISP Global Variable and write it to a database.

Thanks,
Steve

 

maybe use LISP to write the variables to a text file and then use the text file in VB to write to database?

 

That's what I have been doing for the last 6 years. I was hoping there was a way to directly read the AutoLISP variable directly from VB.NET.

 

What about using USERR1-5, USERS1-5??

 

Thanks for the reply. That was my first choice 6 years ago. However my string data is over one thousand characters. That exceeded the capacity of USERS1-5.

I found a routine in another NG but the code doesn't work. At least for me.
