Problem in Netload

[youssefGC]

Hi everyone,

I am sharing an issue that I have encountered quite a few times. Sometimes, when I modify the code on which I generate a new file (dll) and open it in AutoCAD using the Netload command, the window that should alert in case of importing a new dll does not appear (see the window below). It seems like AutoCAD is unable to read the new file and instead saves the old one. Do you have any idea about the origin of the problem?

@youssefGC ,
Sorry, I'd need a translation of the displayed message.

Are you attempting to 'netload' a file that has a version currently loaded ?

Autocad can't allow that.

. . . but when debugging from VisualStudio you should be able to HotLoad code changes without closing and re-opening AutoCAD.

I can't understand this.

Thank you for the reply,

The photo I shared is the normal window that you see when importing a new dll file for the first time.

To clarify, in my case, the first time I load the file, I encounter no issues. Afterward, I make some modifications in the code and regenerate the new dll file. Logically, if I reload the same file in AutoCAD, the window I shared should appear (since the file is regenerated by Visual Studio). Unfortunately, this is not the case for me.

Even the command does not support the new modifications I've made. It's as if AutoCAD retains the first version of the dll file.

Are you closing Autocad between loading the first dll and generating the new dll?

If not, you will not be able to generate the new dll successfully as Autocad will lock the file while it is in use.
