Block Name

 How to Get Block Name from Current drawing using vb.net?

 

Dim objEditor As Editor = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor
        Dim objDocument As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
        Dim objDatabase As Database = objEditor.Document.Database
        Dim symbolNames As String
        Using objTransaction As Transaction = objDatabase.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
            Dim objBlockTable As BlockTable
            objBlockTable = TryCast(objTransaction.GetObject(objDatabase.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTable)

            Dim objBlockTableRecord As BlockTableRecord
            objBlockTableRecord = TryCast(objTransaction.GetObject(objBlockTable(BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace), OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTableRecord)
            For Each acObjId As ObjectId In objBlockTableRecord
                symbolNames = acObjId.ObjectClass.DxfName
            Next

        End Using

Using this code, you are asking for the DXFNAME og the object class, wich is INSERT (i.e. a Block Reference).

You will have to check the Name-property of this block refrence for what you are looking for.
