ObjectARX .NET C# programming book

Hello everyone. I'm new to ObjectARX .NET but I already did some works about AutoCAD customizations using VBA. Now I want to migrate into ObjectARX .NET using C#. I know C#, just want to get a good start familiarizing myself into ObjectARX .NET. So i'm asking your help to give me your recommendations what is a good book to study ObjectARX .NET programming.

Thats easy. There is none. And the examples are not the best either.

Putting that in context a bit: the .NET wrappers for ObjectARX more-or-less
assume you're familiar with using ObjectARX from C++. The .NET wrappers
aren't necessarily designed for someone coming from VBA, rather the intent
is .NET-style interface to traditional ObjectARX.

Much of the fairly extensive documentation on ObjectARX programming with C++
applies to the .NET wrappers as well. Perhaps the most significant
differences are: 1) you can't create custom objects in .NET and 2) generally
things are a bit easier in .NET compared to native C++.

Uh-oh! I am now working my way through the examples from Autodesk in
C#. Their code doesn't work, and I am having lots of trouble finding
the bugs, but learning much along the way.

But you say that we cannot create custom objects with dot net? I need
to create custom objects, and so that is why I am learning this!

Is this true in Acad2007 and VS2005? Am I wasting time?

Thank you,
- Geoff

It is true that you cannot create custom Acad object with ObjectARX .NET
API, as you do with pure ObjectARX. It may be supported in future version,
but I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

If creating custom object is your only reason to learn .NET API, you'd
better hold it for unknown lengthy period. However, if you also do generic
Acad programming, you'd find it is worth the effort of learning. Especially
when you use an Acad vertical product, such as Acad Map (do not know
others), .NET API provides a lot more access to Acad Map than COM API.
