C# Question

[wannabe]

And now it wont work in CAD lol. What a joke.

[CmdrDuh]

what is it doing? did you netload the dll file?

[CmdrDuh]

ok i copied the file into my project and now it works. Although, being honest, I dont fully understand waht i've done.

If you look at picture 3, you have created a command called "Helloworld" When you type that in, it runs the code below that, which creates an editor object, and feeds it the string "Wanabe's first App" to the command line

[wannabe]

I copied your file into my lab1 project. Then it successfully built the dll in my debug folder. Autocad then starts and i netload the lab1.dll from my debug folder. When i type in HelloWorld it says unknown command.

 

The code is as per the manual and there are no errors.

Your code works fine. So maybe I have misunderstood what is required when copying the file to enable me to run it in CAD.

 

All I did was copy your file with all the AutoCAD shortcuts into my folder; Im guessing thats wrong.

[CmdrDuh]

when you say you copied the file into project, did you copy the dll or open the solution and copy from the cs file?

I copied the csproj.user file from the file you sent me into my own version of the Hello World command (called Lab1).

 

the debug then worked perfectly; loading AutoCAD in the same way as it did from your file. Subsequently I went into my debug folder and the Lab1.dll was there so I NETLOAD it.

 

But, when I type in HelloWorld its an unknown command.

 

I had both our codes open side by side (class1.cs) and apart from the text that displays on the commandline (Hello World for and Wannabe... for you) the code is the same.

 

So, in short, the debug loads CAD but my command is unknown - but your command works and loads perfectly. Therefore, is this probably an issue with copying the file from one folder to another (the file that had the code in to load AutoCAD as the debug program?

[wannabe]

Still puzzled with this one. Driving me mad.

 

I think I will have to continue the training using your code and establish what went wrong with mine at a later date.

[CmdrDuh]

2 things, did you add the references to the 2 dll files from the Autocad folder and set local to false? Second, can you zip up your project and email it to me at cmdrduh@gmail.com ?

[wannabe]

You're an excellent help. You have mail.

.NET training video from Autode$k http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=1911627&siteID=123112

 

When we will see the first line of your code?

LOL

 

As funny as it may seem. Not too long from now (I hope a few months time) I will be fairly well educated in the philosophy of C# (through research and practice) and will have done a few basic programs.

 

So by then I will be looking form some basic CAD requirements that you may have for me.

 

If you want to make it as professional as possible i.e you're the customer and I am the programmer who also runs the business, that would be excellent from my point of view. To get me thinking and acting out in the environment I aspire, and aim, to be in.

 

thanks for the link.

 

 

EDIT: Just as practice, as I don't expect to produce code worthy of profit for a long time.

[wannabe]

I should have found that video myself. But cheers, its a great help to my theory and practical education.

[CmdrDuh]

acmgd is set to copy local TRUE. change that and recompile and see what happens

[CmdrDuh]

Here is Wannabe's code, which appears to be correct, except for the copy local part

For some reason I only thought the other CAD reference needed to be set as false.

 

Thanks for your comments.

HelloWorld() should be static
