Multiple Windows and AutoCAD Version Compatibility

At the moment I am creating individual deployment packages for combinations of Windows (32 & 64 bit) and AutoCAD versions.

I have a VS.NET 3.0 version for AutoCAD 2009 and a VS.NET 4.0 version for 2012+

 

For each combination I have been asking people to send me the acmgd.dll, acdbmgd.dll & accoremgd.dll files so that I can create a specific .dll file for their system.

 

There are some combinations that I haven't figured out yet. (.NET version, Windows Version & AutoCAD Version).

AutoCAD 2010 for example which I think is .NET 3.0.

 

Are there any ways that I can simplify this process or rules to go by? If it's of any relevance I am also protecting the application using Sentinel HASP.

 

Hope someone can help.

Hi,

 

The safer way should be to targeting the .NET Framework version which is installed by AutoCAD versions to be sure this Framework is already installed:

A2007-2009 -> Framework 2.0

A2010-2011 -> Framework 3.5

A2012-2013 -> Framework 4.0

 

Anyway, talking about compatibility, excepted A2013 wich requires the Framework 4.0, a .NET plugin developped against Framework 2.0 and A2007 SDK may work for all 2007-2012 versions.

Gilles.

Thanks for the comments there. I've just made a 2008 version using your advice to target .NET 2.0 and all good.

You've cleared up a lot of trial and error problems I've been experiencing. 

Thank you!

Hi,Gile:

 

you say 'a .NET plugin developped against Framework 2.0 and A2007 SDK may work for all 2007-2012 versions.'

 

is that means i just need compile one dll and can run in all 2007-2012 versions?

 

but which .net plugin? could you tell me more details? many thanks.

Yes, I have much apps which use the same DLL from A2007 to A2012.

But it's sometimes painfull to code in an 'old style' avoiding to use the new APIs...

 

For more details, you can see here.
