Load autocad with .net

You are trying to do thing in a wrong way: you cannot use AcadMgd.dll and
acmng.dll to load(start?) AutoCAD, you load AutoCAD first, and load you .NET
ObjectARX dll, which in turn load acadmgd.dll and acmgd.dll. That is, .NET
ObjectARX app can only run inside AutoCAD, so you need start Acad first. Not
the other way around.

If you are talking automating Acad, then yes, you use COM interop if you use
.NET language, or VB5/6. in this case, you do not use acadmgd.dll and
acmgd.dll.
