Check out the ExtensionLoader Class. It has both Load and IsLoaded
methods.

Thanks for your answer, but I tried ExtensionLoader.IsLoaded already. I
got an exception:


Application does not support just-in-time (JIT)
debugging. See the end of this message for details.

The arx I try to load is a non-managed arx (without clr support) created
in VS 2005 for AutoCAD 2007 and works properly.

I thought you we're loading a managed extension. I don't know if there is a
class to load
an ARX. If nothing else maybe you could just use the ARX command?

Thanks for all your answers.

Solved it with using the 'AutoCAD COM APIs from .NET' and
'ApplicationServices.Application.AcadApplication', which has LoadARX und
ListARX.
