errors while build and run old vs c# project while referencing autocad 2019

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to fix a bug in old 2003 vs project created a long time ago in my company. The project references an old autocan version (not sure which version. If it is important I will find it  in one of the following days when someone will be in he office).

At my computer at home I have Visual Studio Community 2017 and I installed an autocad 2019 to test if I can build the old vs project.

I get  about 100 errors of un-recognized type or namespace such as Interop, AcadApplication, AcadDocument, AcadEntity, etc...

I do see that some autocad includes succeed, for example:

using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;

using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;

using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;

I tried to find a solution in google and in the forums here and in VS.

I understood that it is probably related to adding references to the project, so I entered the COM part of the Reference Manager and added all the autocad 2019 Type Library, all the autocad Map MPolygon Type Library and all autocad/ObjectDBX Common 23.0 Type Library.

It didn't help either.

Help will be very appriciated.

LT cannot run VBA projects.

If LT can't be used, is there a different version that I can try to istall and connect to?

Full AutoCAD. You should be able to download a 30 day trial of 2019 to have a see if the program will work

Thank you.

I have uninstalled th LT version and downloaded and installed the full version.

I found the extra reference: AutoCAD Focus Control for VBA Type Library and added it, but all the references are still not recognized.

Hi,

not sure why anyone here writes about VBA?

>> I get about 100 errors of un-recognized type or namespace

That sounds like

• you need to set your project to Framework 4.7
• you need to add a reference accoremdg which was not needed/not available before AutoCAD 2013
