Since you post in .NET group, I assume your interest in in ACad's .NET API.

Unfortunately, there is not event called BeginDwgOpen for you to hook up to.

The DocumentCollection class has DocumentCreated/DocumentCreatedStarted event that might be of your interest. If they are, then something like:

DocumentCollection docManager=Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager;

docManager.DocumentCreateStarted += new DocumentCollectionEventHandler(Doc_CreateStarted);

void Doc_CreateStarted(object sender, DocumentCollectionEventArgs e)

{

    string fileName=e.Document.Name;

}
