    Web Services & VB.NET

    I've created a VBA application within AutoCAD a few years back. I'm migrating to VB.NET and am wondering how VBA/AutoCAD will handle all my VB.NET assemblies I've created. First off, can AutoCAD call a webservice? Can AutoCAD instantiate an Assembly and work with it's properties and methods?

    Thanks,
    Derek

    AutoCAD exposes a .NET API; by and large, you use it just as any other .NET
    API. That is, there aren't a lot of special rules for .NET that only apply
    to AutoCAD.

    I use web services with C# and AutoCAD, and it all works just fine.
