Problem with VB2012 and AutoCAD2015

[Anonymous]

Hi!
Sorry for my English.
I have a program in VB2010 (AutoCAD2012) to VB2012 (AutoCAD2015)
taken. Unfortunately, when I start it now (netload), nothing happens.
Admit it still features the in VB2012 (AutoCAD2015) must be observed?

Thank you for your help.

It seems to be a porting problem, check all of the base things:

- AutoCAD 2015 is not binary compatible with previous versions, you have to recompile using NET framework 4.5.0 or 4.5.1 (see application properties)

- you must reference dll from ObjectARX 2015 (AcMgd, AcDbMgd, ecc.). Check reference folders also in project properties.

Hi!

The program was originally created with VB2010 under AutoCAD 2012.
Now I have opened the program in VB2012 and changed the following:
References from the
- AcCoreMgd, AcDbMgd, AcMgd from the directory C: \ ObjectARX 2015
- Local copy set to False
-. Net Framework 4.5

VB2012 does not show any errors.
At startup / debug but not AutoCAD 2015 special launched in 2012 AutoCAD.

Why might that be?
Is there a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I see some problems:

1.- A missing space + underscore after the command attribute

2.-The call to the form LB_System shoud be :Application.ShowModalDialog(FormObj1)

3.- Not sure if the positioning of the form will work, I usually set the form positioning in the form itself.

Not sure what's your last problem... you mean that when you start debugging you don't see AutoCAD 2015 starting automatically? You should check the project properties, debug panel. There you find the program that Visual Studio will start when debugging. If the project worked already with AutoCAD 2012, you should see the previous path, that you may change to 2015. Also, when AutoCAD starts, don't expect that the DLL will be loaded automatically. You must manually execute NETLOAD and pick the dll in the project/bin/debug folder. Alternatively, you may write a little script and add it to the startup parameters of AutoCAD, so that the debug dll will be loaded at every debug launch.

Hello!

I have my problem to solve now.

It was up to the ... vbproj.user file.
Here I have adapted these directories and now it works.
- <ReferencePath> C: \ ObjectARX 2015 \ inc </ ReferencePath>
- <StartProgram> C: \ Program Files \ Autodesk \ AutoCAD 2015 \ acad.exe </ Start Program>

Thanks again for the suggestions.

greeting
