AutoCAD.Net API programming using VB.Net, C#.Net, AutoCAD Customization using Net

You can program AutoCAD using VB.Net/C#.Net using following methos:
1. Using ObjectARX managed wrapper classes
2. Using AutoCAD COM APIs
3. Using combination of both
If you are currently using AutoCAD VBA then you can use AutoCAD COM APIs to start AutoCAD programming using .Net
immediately.
Procedure to use AutoCAD COM API with .Net is explained below:
- Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
- Create a new Class Library project in VB.Net
- Add reference to AutoCAD Type Library (acax17enu.tlb), AutoCAD / ObjectDBX Common Type Library (axdb17enu.tlb),
acdbmgd.dll and acmgd.dll.
- Type the following code (This code creates a line)

Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
Public Class Class1
<'CommandMethod("MyLine")> _
Public Shared Sub CreateLine()
Dim AcadApp As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadApplication
Dim acaddoc As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadDocument
Dim pt As Object
Dim pt1 As Object
AcadApp = GetObject(, "Autocad.Application")
acaddoc = AcadApp.ActiveDocument
pt = acaddoc.Utility.GetPoint(, "Pick point:")
pt1 = acaddoc.Utility.GetPoint(pt, "Pick second point:")
acaddoc.ModelSpace.AddLine(pt, pt1)
End Sub
End Class
