Create command with a "-" for the first character

[Jeff_M]

I'm wanting to create a command that can be invoked as a Dialog or at the command line, just as there are the commands "Layer" and "-Layer" (among many others). However, when I attempt this:

[CommandMethod("-MyCommand")]

the command is not recognized by Autocad. I've read through the .NET and ObjectARX docs and have been unable to find any mention of the "-" character not being a valid character to use. 

Any suggestions welcomed. (Yes, I know I can just create a similarly named command. I was hoping to mimic what Autocad does so the process will already be familiar to the end user.)

Thanks!

Hi

Prefixing a .NET command with "-" always worked for me. Are you sure the "not recognized " is due to the command name ?

@Jeff_M, I just recently posted something in my blog on this topic, and I have no problem to with code

[CommandMethod("-DoSothing")]

Of course it works guys, thanks for verifying. Turns out the backup computer I'm using wasn't configured to send my Debug DLL's to the .bundle folder, so it was still loading old code. Once I reconfigured VS, all is well.
