changing .dll to .arx

[JarekM]

Hi again,
I got another question - if it's possible (if yes, than how?) to create *.arx file (opened by appload command) from *.dll file created in vb.net. I will be more than grateful for help

.NET assemblies must have a ".dll" extension; ARXs use the unmanaged C++ API
and can't be created with other .NET languages. You can use the NETLOAD
command to load your managed AutoCAD extension.

It's not good information for me, but thanks for reply

He's saying it's not possible, and from what I know I agree with that assumption.

However, instead of appload, you can use netload to load your library into Autocad. There's even a section of the registry you can use to demand-load it when Autocad starts up.

Well the fact that is impossible is not good info. But returning to Your reply "There's even a section of the registry you can use to demand-load it when AutoCAD starts up" - could You please tell me how/where to set this?
