Call C++ ObjectArx from .NET arx to overcome the .NET arx limitation.

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to call C++ ObjectArx from .NET arx to overcome limitations of .NET arx? Many thanks in advance. Zhongwei Xia

What you can do is write a managed ObjectARX application in C++, and expose the functionality that you need in a managed class. This is similar to writing a COM wrapper, except that you would essentially be writing a .NET wrapper. Then, you can just reference this arx from your VB.NET or C# project and create an instance of your managed class.

Jon, Thank you for your reply. Your email does help. It's a way to use C++ ObjectARX power to solve C# .net problems. We really need to have good documentation and samples for .NET AutoCAD application. Appreciate your help.

The 2006 ObjectARX API contains a ton of managed code examples (look in Samples/dotNet). In addition, the new ObjectARX wizard gives you the option to create a project that has all of the compiler settings tweaked for a Managed C++ arx.

Thank you for your email. I tried all .net samples from the 2006 ObjectARX SDK and all .NET samples I could find from ADN web site. But I still could not figure out my problem. I want to insert images into AutoCAD drawing file. I found an C++ sample from ADN, and I tried to user C#.net to do it. It doesn't work.

As I said, you can use the ObjectARX wizard to create an ARX using Managed C++. Create a managed class, and in that class, declare a static function that implements the C++ sample code that you found. Then, in your C# project, reference the ARX module and call the static function that you declared in your managed class. There are other ways to do this & you can get more complicated and elegant than this, but that's the basic idea.

BTW: The polysamp example shows a very detailed example of this (samples/entity/polysamp).

Jon, Your answers are very helpful. I'm trying to do what you suggested. I'll let you know if I get things worked. Thank you very much.

Hi, Jon, I tried to do that, but I'm still having hard time to make it work. I created a simple C++ ObjectARX (just print a line in AutoCAD), then tried to user managed class to wrap it. It just doesn't work. Do you have any simple sample? Thank you very much.
