This error was experienced when testing the code in debug mode.
When I published the project and tested it worked with no problems.


I am new to VB.Net and this is my first project.
I utlised the template provided by Jerry Winters with the VB.NET Programing for AutoCAD book.
As such I have not investigated the whole debugging process.

Any comments would be appreciated.

I can't rich at the moment at VS thus
I can't test it
Perhaps, like this:
{code}
pKeyOpts.Keywords.Add("a4")
pKeyOpts.Keywords.Add("a3")
pKeyOpts.Keywords.Add("A2")
pKeyOpts.Keywords.Add("A1")
pKeyOpts.Keywords.Add("A1FIT")
pKeyOpts.Keywords.Add("PDF")
pKeyOpts.AllowNone = True
pKeyOpts.Keywords.Default = "a4";
{/code}

Martin,

I ran your PlotDEP code without any problems. I am guessing this is part of a larger project. Is it possible that something else is having problems? Can you post the code that is calling PlotDEP?

Hi Jerry
I have attached my project as is.
I am currently wotking on it so there are some linked modules missing but these are not used by the PlotDEP command.

I had assumed this problem was related to being in debug mode.
I have had a similar problem reading from the registry.
When I run the function in debug the dll resides on our server. This is becouse all my project files are on my H: for backing up etc.
When I move the dll to c: no problem.

This is my first .net project 🙂

Regards
Martin

What OS are you using?

Jerry

Windows XP with SP2

.NET dlls can't be loaded across a network without first configuring them to
increase their trust level.

You can use caspol.exe from the SDK or the .NET 2.0 Configuration management
console applet (mscorcfg.msc) to do that.

You should find the latter in Start Menu->Programs->Adminstrative Tools,
