Block GeometricExtents EXCEPTION

[supec]

when I try to get Extents of block, which is NONnull CAD throws exception (blocks are mainly one atribute blocks made from text):
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Cíl vyvolání způsobil výjimku. ---> Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Exception: eNullExtents v Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Entity.get_GeometricExtents()

It's thrown by this piece of code:
if (entBlockStamp.GeometricExtents.MinPoint.X <= entBlockToFill.GeometricExtents.MinPoint.X & entBlockStamp.GeometricExtents.MaxPoint.X >= entBlockToFill.GeometricExtents.MaxPoint.X & entBlockStamp.GeometricExtents.MinPoint.Y <= entBlockToFill.GeometricExtents.MinPoint.Y & entBlockStamp.GeometricExtents.MaxPoint.Y >= entBlockToFill.GeometricExtents.MaxPoint.Y)

I tried to "solve" it with:
if (entBlockStamp.GeometricExtents!=null & entBlockToFill.GeometricExtents!=null)
but with no result.

Any Ideas?

Does the block contain any entities aside from the
attribute definition?

Is the transaction, through which the block was inserted, committed, by the time you call .GeometricExtents?

[supec]

yes, it is commited (I do this on premade file)
and NO, block has no more entities except of one atribute.

strange thing is, exception seems to be thrown on different blocks, every time program is executed:( Message was edited by: supec

You can't use a DBObject once the transaction you
get it from is committed or aborted.

ah, all right, bad explanation of situation from me, sorry.
transaction isn't commited, but blocks are already inserted in the drawing...
You can find whole code in enclosure. I want to find block, which is within extents of stamp (block) and change his atribute according to dataset table. Basicly trasfer of data from *.csv file into dwg, which has already existing blocks and atributes. I do COMMIT transaction after all of atributes are changed.
Thanks

Since Entity.GeometricExtents property is the one of incompatible properties
since acad2007 to the older version 2005/6. Could be this problem is caused
by running your app on acad2005/6 (you did not mention the Acad version you
use, so, I just shoot in the dark).

AutoCAD is 2007, but file is saved as ACAD 2000, does it matter? Now I do not have time to try to save it as 2007, I'll try it on afternoon.

Sorry, my mistake, I had empty cells in CSV file and that was causing the exception.
Thanks for Your time. Message was edited by: supec
