But the basics are it doesn't really matter. I would stay with VB if you're used to VBA.

Learning .NET as a platform is actually more difficult then which language you are going to use.

Any code samples can be converted from C# to VB and back.

Hi rajpaul75,

At the moment VB6 is probably the worst programming language you can use
to develop for AutoCAD. It has the following defects for long term use.

1 No longer supported by MS
2 32 Bit
3 Autodesk have recognised the deficiency of 32 bit and have clearly
indicated it by not including the VB6 based VBA engine in the default
install of AutoCAD 2010.

Although it's harder to learn .NET is now the way to go.

Regards,


Laurie Comerford

Laurie, I'm not sure what forum you were reading? ....

anyways I was talking about VB, as in VB.NET

Just to Clarify.

He obviously didn't read the heading of the post which clearly puts the question in context as opposed to the body of the post on its own.
