Is it possible to reference more than one version of these files in a
single project?



The reason I ask is that the 2 version of AutoCAD we are using have
different "properties" for the objects in question (the names change)...

No, you can't do that.

What properties are changed?

The textstyle property of the text object changed from "textstyle" to
"textstyleid"...

Are you using Visual Studio 2008 ?

The only option would be to use reflection.

The class below defines two extension methods for
DBText and MText that can be used in either release:

You use them just like they were methods of the
DBText and MText objects:

ObjectId GetTextStyleId();

void SetTextStyleId( ObjectId value );

[code]

{code}

public static class VersionCompatibleExtensionMethods
{
public static ObjectId GetTextStyleId( this DBText instance )
{
if( textStyleProperty != null )
return (ObjectId) textStyleProperty.GetValue( instance, null );
else
throw new MissingMemberException();
}

public static ObjectId GetTextStyleId( this MText instance )
{
if( mtextStyleProperty != null )
return (ObjectId) mtextStyleProperty.GetValue( instance, null );
else
throw new MissingMemberException();
}

public static void SetTextStyleId( this DBText instance, ObjectId value )
{
if( textStyleProperty != null )
textStyleProperty.SetValue( instance, value, null );
else
throw new MissingMemberException();
}

public static void SetTextStyleId( this MText instance, ObjectId value )
{
if( mtextStyleProperty != null )
mtextStyleProperty.SetValue( instance, value, null );
else
throw new MissingMemberException();
}

static VersionCompatibleExtensionMethods()
{
textStyleProperty = typeof( DBText ).GetProperty( "TextStyle" );
if( textStyleProperty == null )
textStyleProperty = typeof( DBText ).GetProperty( "TextStyleId" );
mtextStyleProperty = typeof( DBText ).GetProperty( "TextStyle" );
if( mtextStyleProperty == null )
mtextStyleProperty = typeof( DBText ).GetProperty( "TextStyleId" );
}

private static PropertyInfo textStyleProperty = null;
private static PropertyInfo mtextStyleProperty = null;
}


{code}

If you are using VB on VS2005 and need to support 2007 then this appears
to work.

If AcdApp.Version = 17.0 Then
CallByName(AddEnt, "TextStyle", CallType.Set, StyRec.ObjectId)
Else
CallByName(AddEnt, "TextStyleId", CallType.Set, StyRec.ObjectId)
End If

Rather than branching once when the code loads, your so-called
solution branches every single time the property's value is needed.

Astounding.

For those that use VS2005, you can still use the code posted
as extension methods, by just converting them to plain old
static methods (non-extension methods), and passing the
DBText or MText objects to them as the first parameter. Just
remove the 'this' from first parameter declaration.
