You just need to get the ObjectId of the LinetypeTableRecord and set it
with:
LayerTableRecord.LinetypeObjectId = myLinetypeId;
I posted a large sample called MgdDbg the other day on this forum. In there
there is sample code that loads a named Linetype from the external file,
makes a new LayerTableRecord, and assigns the linetype to that Layer.
Here is the code (from ObjTests\MakeSymTblRecTests.cs):
public void
Layer()
{
string symName = "Jimbo";
using (TransactionHelper tr = new TransactionHelper(m_db)) {
tr.Start();
if (tr.SymbolTableRecExists(typeof(LayerTableRecord), symName)) {
Utils.AcadUi.PrintToCmdLine(string.Format("\nLayer \"{0}\" already exists.",
symName));
return;
}
LayerTableRecord lyr = new LayerTableRecord();
lyr.Name = symName;
lyr.LinetypeObjectId = Utils.SymTbl.GetOrLoadLinetypeId("ZIGZAG", m_db);
//lyr.Description = "Layer created programmatically by MgdDbg"; // Can't set
until after its added to the database!
lyr.Color = Color.FromRgb(0, 130, 160);
tr.AddNewSymbolRec(lyr);
tr.Commit();
Utils.AcadUi.PrintToCmdLine(string.Format("\nCreated layer \"{0}\".",
symName));
}
}
(sorry for the whacky formatting... it will fix itself if you paste it into
Visual Studio)
See the MgdDbg sample for the full code.

After looking through every example I can find, it seems like no one has set
a linetype to a layer with C# yet. I can get the linetype loaded into my
current drawing, but I cannot set it to a layer. Any ideas?
