adding auto cad activex control to vb.net 2005 form

[Anonymous]

hi

i added a control AcCtrl in the COM components from the path c:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AcCtrl.dll.
i added this control in my tool box and i drag and dropped into the form
and i added the following code in the button click event

AxAcCtrl1.Visible = True
AxAcCtrl1.Show()
AxAcCtrl1.Src = "d:\GA.DWG"

when i run this it is showing the error

Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE))

i m using auto cad 2006 and vb.net 2005

can any one help me

I think you can only use acCtrl.dll with ACAD OEM version or Acad2009 or later (e.g. with Acad 2009 or later installed). See Kean's articale

Since you use Acad2006, hence the error.
