.NET : How to Get current AutoCAD session

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
is there a way to get the current AutoCAD session with VB.Net?
(as we did with GetObject("AutoCad.Application") in VB6)

Thanks, Nicola

'Try to get an open AutoCad object
Try
objApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.16")
Catch
'Try to create an AutoCad object if the previous request failed
Try
objApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application.16")
Catch
'Error handling
End Try
End Try
