Have you tried looking for it yourself. You can search the ng for
"objectdbx" and you will find some code.

To get the AcadApplication object, call Application.AcadApplication. To get a document, call Document.AcadDocument. To define a new (and empty) variable to store the document, write Dim acadDoc as AcadDocument.

Note that you cannot create a document out of thin air. Try using Application.AcadDocument.Documents.Open if you wish to open a document in MDI mode.

If your VB.NET code is not loaded into AutoCAD, you must
use ActiveX to access ObjectDBX using the GetInterfaceObject
method of the AcadApplication object.

Try the code:

End Sub

'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.

End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
