Generally, the .NET wrappers can't be used to create stand-alone
applications.

I say "generally" because strictly speaking, you can use the managed
wrappers in conjunction with RealDWG (aka ObjectDBX) to create a stand-alone
app; but RealDWG isn't readily available as it must be licensed from
Autodesk. If AutoCAD is installed on the machine, you can use COM
automation in a stand-alone app, but that has nothing to do with .NET;
although you can use a .NET language to work with the AutoCAD automation COM
objects.

A good starting point would be the vb.net sample in the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk Product 2007\Sample\Product API\VB_NET\VbDotNetClient

(the path will vary depending on the version/vertical product installed)

Another good resource are the help files that are in the ObjectARX Help files and samples, look for "dotnet" folders.

Good luck
