Unknown command

Anonymous — Wed, 10 Aug 2005 23:59:54 GMT

My program compiles with 0 errors and 0 warnings however when I load with netload and run AutoCAD tells me "unknown command" What is the problem?

Try making the Create function static (Shared in VB).

You also may need to make it a SUB. I don't believe you can call a FUNCTION
since function implies a return value. Change it to this and it'll work:

Public Class EmployeeObject
_
Public Shared Sub Create()

Mike,

Function is OK. Here's a piece of code that
works:

face="Courier New">Imports
color=#000000>
System.Runtime.InteropServices

face="Courier New" color=#0000ff size=2>Imports
face="Courier New" color=#000000> Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime

Public
size=2> Class
DemoClass

size=2>Implements
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.IExtensionApplication

size=2>Public
size=2>Sub Initialize()
size=2>Implements
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.IExtensionApplication.Initialize

size=2>Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.CommandLinePrompts.Message(vbNewLine
+ _

size=2>"DEMO Class successfully loaded..." +
vbNewLine)

size=2>End
size=2>Sub

size=2>

size=2>Public
size=2>Sub Terminate()
size=2>Implements
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.IExtensionApplication.Terminate

size=2>End
size=2>Sub

size=2><Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.CommandMethod("DEMO1")>
_

size=2>Public
size=2>Function Demo1()

...

color=#0000ff size=2>End
color=#0000ff size=2>Function

face="Courier New">End
size=2>
size=2>Class

Sepich, you need to
load resulting DLL via AutoCAD's NETLOAD command. Also try to keep a DLL at
location found in AutoCAD's Search/Support Path (or create a new
one).

Thanks Maksim. I knew that would work but I'm not sure if it does if you
remove your Initialize sub. Easy enough to test, I just haven't had much
time to play lately 😉
