Can't use function GetBoundingBox from C# application

Anonymous — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 14:22:55 GMT

Hi.
I work with Autocad from C# application using late binding.
After inserting block, i want to get its bounds.

double[] aMinPoint = new double[3], aMaxPoint = new double[3];
Params = new object[] { aMinPoint, aMaxPoint };
oBlock.GetType().InvokeMember("GetBoundingBox", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, oBlock, Params);

But after execution this code aMaxPoint and aMinPoint had their default values - 0.

What do I do wrong?

By the way the same task in VB.NET (with built-in late binding) solves good.

Dim aMinPoint() As Double
Dim aMaxPoint() As Double

oBlock.GetBoundingBox(aMinPoint, aMaxPoint)

Thanks for help.

Can you share a copy of part of code because am unable to find data in the link. Am also using the same concept of GetBoundingBox to Get the location of Texts.

Hello Virupaksha.aithal, i resolved this issue quite some time ago, but stuck up in a new location. Call rejected by callee.

I have already posted a issue in the forum and side by side i am also trying to execute this, but my code gets stuck at Call rejected by callee.

Then if i press F5 it works as expected

With Warm Regards
