Since you post questioon in Acad Map forum, I assume you use AutoCAD Map. In this case, you already have all the DLLs you need. AutoCAD Map and MapGuide share the major portion of their .NET APIs. However, be prepared that not everything Mapguide can do AutoCAD Map can also do, vice versa.

The API on mapping/GIS side of development in AutoCAD Map is called Platform API. If you have downloaded AutoCAD Map ObjectARX SDK (it is not a must, though), it comes with Platform API samples (in ...\[SDK folder]\..Map Samples\platform\" folder.

When you do Mapping/GIS/FDO development with platform APIs, you most likely also need to deal with AutiCAD .NET API, so, you need to be familar to that as well.
