Issues porting to 2025 .net 8.0 - C# but compiler thinks Visual basic?

I'm trying to port a project to 2025 / .net 8.0. It isn't working and as a sanity check ive created the "first autocad project" As per the .net 2025 guide.

Code:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime; using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices; using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices; [assembly: CommandClass(typeof(MyFirstProject1.Class1))] namespace MyFirstProject1 { public class Class1 { [CommandMethod("AdskGreeting")] public void AdskGreeting() { // Get the current document and database, and start a transaction Document acDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Database acCurDb = acDoc.Database; // Starts a new transaction with the Transaction Manager using (Transaction acTrans = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { // Open the Block table record for read BlockTable acBlkTbl; acBlkTbl = acTrans.GetObject(acCurDb.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) as BlockTable; // Open the Block table record Model space for write BlockTableRecord acBlkTblRec; acBlkTblRec = acTrans.GetObject(acBlkTbl[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite) as BlockTableRecord; /* Creates a new MText object and assigns it a location, text value and text style */ using (MText objText = new MText()) { // Specify the insertion point of the MText object objText.Location = new Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry.Point3d(2, 2, 0); // Set the text string for the MText object objText.Contents = "Greetings, Welcome to AutoCAD .NET"; // Set the text style for the MText object objText.TextStyleId = acCurDb.Textstyle; // Appends the new MText object to model space acBlkTblRec.AppendEntity(objText); // Appends to new MText object to the active transaction acTrans.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(objText, true); } // Saves the changes to the database and closes the transaction acTrans.Commit(); } } } }

Having issues with the reference files, I've downloaded from here:

AutoCAD ObjectARX SDK downloads | Autodesk Platform Services

Also tried using the same dll files from autocad civil3d installation and both are giving errors:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error (active) CS0103 The name 'Application' does not exist in the current context testclass "my path" - Documents\Code\net8 tester\testclass\Class1.cs 20

When I compile it complains that bout different versions of microsoft.visualbasic? I'm not using visual basic?!

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Warning (active) MSB3277 Found conflicts between different versions of "Microsoft.VisualBasic" that could not be resolved.

Tried using the nuget for the autocad references but it doesnt work, compiles fine but when I load it to a drawing none of the commands show up.

Anyone know whats up?

Hi,

When you started your project in Visual Studio, did you choose the class library project template that targets .NET or .NET Standard (not the one that target .NET Framework)?

Anyway, you could use this AutoCAD plugin project template after having edited the different files so that the AutoCAD libraries match those on the local computer.

Fairly certain I did .net 8.0 (long term support). Your template worked, thanks!
