In addition, you may find this article helpful. While it doesn't discuss NET, some of what it says applies.

" What could be done by Lisp that can't be done with .Net ?" This is a little backwards. Net can do much more, but lisp can be more concise in some cases. While lisp is best at scripting existing acad commands, NET offers closer integration with acad.
To evaluate whether something is feasable or not, at a minimun, you need a summary of what it is capable of and your cost to attain it. You might try msdn.com and look at the visual studio home page to get an overview of NET. As far as NET in acad goes, you could summarize by saying that acad's NET api is a wrapper for the ARX classes. Which means that you have greater access to acad than lisp, but at a greater cost. Due to its complexity, it takes a long time to learn.

"You have to learn to use the language and API before you
can even begin to consider implementing solutions with it."
I think he's aware of that. I believe what he's asking for is advise so he can evaluate whether to put the effort into learning it in view of the fact that he's stuck with 2006 for some time. You're still stuck in run-down-the-beginner-to-make-yourself-feel-big mode.

There you go running me down again cause you don't have any justification for your childish actions.
BTW, just because I try to help people doesn't mean I claim to be an expert. Just the willingnes to share what you know is all you need to be helpful. Part of your problem is you think that nobody but you can help anyone. We don't have to kow everything like you. Apparently, you who sit in judgement of others must fancy youself one. But that doesn't automatically make you helpful, especially when all you have to offer is put-downs. You don't honestly believe your post was helpful do you?

You're loosing it. You never even asked me a question. All you did was jump at the chance to tell Pierre he's "entry level". That's all you've done for the last 10 years, and especially lately. If you're such an expert, why don't you say something useful for a change. Stick to the subject, which is your obsession with telling people they don't know anything.

I haven't been spewing crap, just pointing out what has been coming from you for the last 10 years. Now, you know what it feels like on this end. If you don't like it, all you have to do is quit insulting people. Everybody can see that you're making stuff up, while I've been citing hard facts that you continue to deny. Don't you have a mirror at your place? All the things you've been saying to me, you should be saying to yourself. Grow up.

Thanks Owen. My mistake. I was only trying to speak up for others. Chalk it up to desperation, I guess. I give up. He's not worth it.
