As a beginner,I met a problem,this is my code :
using System ;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime ;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;

// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
this.CreateEmployee();
}
//This function returns the ObjectId for the BlockTableRecord called "EmployeeBlock",
//creating it if necessary. The block contains three entities - circle, text
//and ellipse.
public ObjectId CreateEmployeeDefinition()
{

try
{
//Now, drill into the database and obtain a reference to the BlockTable
BlockTable bt = (BlockTable)trans.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForWrite);
if ((bt.Has("EmployeeBlock")))

}
else

//Ellipse:
