Error with my first example

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I'm trying with this simple code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
using System.Collections.Specialized;


namespace ACADConverter
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Starting Plot");
try
{


Database db = new Database(false, true);
db.ReadDwgFile("c:\\caddo.dwg", FileShare.Read, true, null);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe)
{
Console.WriteLine("Errore: " + fnfe.StackTrace);
}
}
}
}

But I got this error:


Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
at ACADConverter.Program.Main(String[] args)

I had imported this libs:
-acdbmgd
-acmgd
-System
-System.Drawing
-System.Xml

I use AutoCAD 2007

Thank you.

Are you running a stand-alone application (Console App)? If yes, the error
is expected. You cannot use Acad ObjectARX .NET API outside Acad (that is,
the references you set to acdbmgd.dll/acmgd.dll is useless in your
stand-alone program).

The only way to use the AutoCAD Managed API is
from a DLL that is loaded into AutoCAD using the
NETLOAD command.

You must create a new ClassLibrary project, and
then use the NETLOAD command to load it.

The equivalent of the 'Main()' entry point, is the
IExtensionApplication.Initialize method, or you
can define a with the [CommandMethod] attribute,
and enter the command to run your code.

You should download and look at the examples
that ship with the ObjectARX API first.

That mean I cannot run nothing outside AutoCAD?

Yes, Acad ObjectARX .NET API can only run inside Acad, the the form of DLL.
Period. If you want to use your stand-alone application to control Acad to
do something (automate Acad) you need to use Acad's COM API. Typically, that
is easier done in VB. Even you use VB.NET or C#, you still do it in the way
you do in VB.

thank you.

Where Can I found documantation about the COM API?

Thank you very very much
