I had a old standalone application which i developed in vb.net creates drawings. Now i want to develop the same application in web and when my client select the drawing options it should generate a drawing in dxf or pdf format.
which languages i want to learn to do the above.
When i searched in net i found a simlilar example. please see this link http://www.mitsubishielectric.com/elevator/members/index.html
Thank you,

I assume you mean "application in the web": user uses web browser to send request to web server somewhere, based on the type of request, web server does something and returns what user wants, usually, that is a stream of text/image with or without some JavaScript code, which the browser renders into web page view for user to view.
In your case, you want to give user a PDF or dxf (a text file, or do you really meant for dwf?), which would be downloaded and/or be opened in browser.
So, the pdf/dwf/dxf would be generated by your web application in the web server with or without AutoCAD installed. I am not sure what kind of lisence policy is applicable of installing AutoCAD in server side. Technically, running AutoCAD in non-user-attented server environment is problematic, to say the least. Since AutoCAD 2013, you might try to run AutoCAD console (I'd only try Acad 2014 or later, console for Acad2013 is more like experimental).
Since your old app is an EXE app, which very likely uses AutoCAD COM API to automate AutoCAD session, you really cannot use the same or similar process in a web server environment.
