Can AutoCAD 2015 be used with Visual Studio 2010?

If not, what is required to use VB.net and C sharp with

AutoCAD 2015 if VS 2010 express editions are allready

installed. Please include what needs to be uninstalled and

reinstalled.

 

Thank you,

VS 2010 cannot compile to .NET 4.0 Framework version for AutoCAD 2015, however, you can now uninstall VS 2010 Express standalone installations (one each for C++, C#, VB), and instead install a single VS Community which is compatible with current versions of AutoCAD, and can compile back for older versions you might still need to support.

 

I currently use VS 2013 Ultimate to support 2010-2016, and have tested VS 2015 successfully as well.

At work I have AutoCAD 2013 with C sharp & VB.net 2010 express editions.

When management installs 2015 on that machine I will convince them to uninstall the

Express 2010 editions and install 3013 express editions for VB.net & C sharp.

 

Tall order for an AutoCAD drafter that is low on the corporate totem pole.

This uninstall/reinstall thing gets worse all the time

I loaded one of my vb.net programs into vb 2010 only to view code. The computer has AutoCAD 2015 installed.

I did not run anything. I found a bunch of errors. Mainly It had bunch of type errors such as

"Type Value not defined" The machine does not have any other visual studio ediions installed.

 

The program was created and running with AutoCAD 2010 and Vb.net express 2010.

So what is going on here.

Sounds like you've not set your project to compile to .NET 4.0 Framework, and that you're missing the needed assembly references from 2015 SDK, which includes AcCore.dll (aka Core Console)... Without both, you cannot compile for 2015, hence the comment about downloading newer VS.

Do I download AutoCAD .NET Wizards for AutoCAD 2015 for Visual Studio 2012

under AutoCAD .NET Wizards? Will it work with VS 2013?

 

I have VS 2013 installed with AutoCAD 2015. Not VS 2012.

 

Thank you,

I loaded a working program with

VS 2010 & AutoCAD 2013 into VS 2013 &

AutoCAD 2015 and found a series of errors.

For one thing the program is looking for

ACcoreMgd, ACmgd & ACDbMgd.

 

How do I remap those files?

Thank you,

I installed 2015 Net wizzard with VS 2013 and did not even get any AutoCAD templates

in VS 2013. I uninstalled 2015 net wizzard. Do I need to uninstall VS 2013 and install

VS 2012 then run 2015 AutoCAD wizzard to get things to work with AutoCAD 2015?

 

Thank you,

This is normal - you just need to add the assembly references from your ObjectARX 2015 SDK. Core console was implemented in 2013, and Autodesk broke the API again in 2015.

You and Michaels are having a similar problem (see his other thread); it's been so long since I started from scratch, that I'll have to do that (start from scratch again), in order to be of more help with this issue.

 

Cheers
