Hi , to get intersection point between to entities you have to use 'entity.IntesectWith' function. With this function, you can get intersecting point. if for an entity if you get intersection point , you can add that entity in your list or array. you can have a look on below link where you can find how intersection point can be found between 2 entities.

Thank you very much Mr. mzakiralam
This is good try.
I know how to get intersection points using (IntersectWith) function, My problem is how to specify the type of the entity that intersects with the polyline.

 entity.GetType() will help you to get entity type. you can also use below function.

Dim ent as entity = transaction.GetObject(ObjectId, OpenMode.Write)

If TypeOf ent is Polyline

'do as you want

End If
