How to load a .lsp file using C#?

[Anonymous]

Hello guys,

I want to load a lisp file using C#. here is my code:

Editor ed;
Document doc;
doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
ed = doc.Editor;
string myStr = @"(LOAD ""c:/rigging/Chok.lsp"")";
ed.Command(myStr);

I would appreciate it if you let me know what is wrong with this code?

When I copy and past my string which is (LOAD "c:/rigging/Chok.lsp") in command line it works!

Thanks,

doc.SendStringToExecute ?

Hi,

Unlike Document.SendStringToExecute() (or AcadDocument.SendCommand()) which send the string passed as argument to the command line for being executed, the Editor.Command() method requires typed arguments (as the command LISP function).

So, to load a LISP file from .NET, you should use Document.SendStringToExecute() despite the fact it runs asynchronously.
