Migration VBA to VBdotNet 2012 - Autocad 2013

Regards,
Maybe someone can help me solve my problem.
I wonder why this code does not work when working with AutoCAD 2013:

I wonder if the way we work with INTEROP, and INTEROP.COMMON, has changed in AutoCAD 2013, and if so what would be the new way of working with these references.

When I run the plugin shows me the following error:

There are some changes in AutoCAD .NET API since ACAD2013. In your case you call Document's extension method GetAcadDocument():

Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiDocument.GetAcadDocument()

FYI, migrating COM based VBA code into .NET API code and yet still using COM API doing the work is not a good choice. When start doing .NET programming withg AutoCAD, it would be better to forget all the COM stuff and try to learn and understand the .NET API, and only turn to COM when you really cannot find a way to do it with .NET API or you really have no time to learn .NET API (then why not stick with VBA?).

Replacing the inserted code is this:

Thisdrawing = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.DocumentExtension.GetAcadDocument(Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument)

But unfortunately I get the same error, maybe I'm using wrong: (

Since Acad2013, you need add 3 managed references:

accordmgd.dll

acdbmgd.dll

acmgd.dll

It is likely that you missed setting reference to accoremgd.dll.
