Net referances Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop on Sharp Develop Portable Net editor?

[muck]

I am using SharpDevelop net editor

to create and learn about AutoCAD net projects. When I followed the procedure shown in webpage

http://www.cadalyst.com/cad/autocad/cad-clinic-autocad-commands-vb-net-3043

I do not see the referances Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop in the Develop Sharp editor window when I am on a network system at work. Is there a way to added these references?

At home I see these references so is there reason I am not seeing those references my work’s network AutoCAD?

 

I have found that the sharpDevelop net editor can be ran from a USB drive unlike MS visual studio Express. I think this is a nice feature.

 

 

Thank you,

I would suggest never look at that article again and Interop.Common is not needed and never used in examples

 

I would start here

I would say the site is being blocked by your work. Seems strange though a Cadalyst site being blocked.

Why?

Why?

 

As Jeff Noted, The references to

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop

are not used in the code, so the references are NOT needed.

 

The Article pointed to at Cadalyst is dated 2005 ... a lot has happened in the last 6 years ...

 

The links to the videos that Jeff pointed to are more current and more informative.

Is it possable to use the Sharp Develop editor and not MS visual studio Express?

Thank you,

Yes I see people using Sharp Develop but I am not sure how well debugging works etc......

as for using newer vidoes they use better techniques than ones from cadalyst and using functions that should be subs, and some of explanations are a little confusing.

 

To be fair to the author that might of been the norm back then as I did not use it back then.
