program from vba to vb.net

[Emo]

Hello everyone!

I am a good vba user for autocad and I created many subs to speed up my work. I'm in engineering.
I have many macros written in vba for autocad, much math, external excel sheet references, lines creation, polylines, blocks, automatic cards. nothing stratospheric... so

Now I would like to go to vb.net, but reading the English manuals in my opinion give many things for granted. I don't come out much.

by now I understand that if I don't live in .net I'm out of the games in a few years so I don't want to miss the work done in the past but do the porting as soon as possible. :wink:

Can you help me out?
Is there a manual, tutorial to start programming in vb.net for autocad?
After completing my nice program like autocad launch?
What do I use as a compiler?
What do I do to access autocad libraries?

Thanks to all of you!

...... is there a manual, tutorial to start programming in vb.net for autocad? ...

This is the help autodesk on the .net platform:
http://docs.autodesk.com/acd/2010/enu/autocad .net developers guide/index.htmlat the end of this link you will find a videotutorial that explains the migration from vb to vb.net.
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteid=123112&id=770215real manuals online until recently I had not found them. I don't know now.
in any case you can start from various tutorials on the network. example:

command netload

What do I use as a compiler?

thank you very much for the links, now I am in harmony with patience and technical English... :finger:

Now I wonder what the real advantages of moving to the .net platform, because for now it seems to me to find only disadvantages ... in the sense that I would like to understand with some example what I can do extra with .net (remaining in the context of use of autocad)

Finally, are we sure that there will be a waft for autocad or will there be a return office type with vba7?

:smile:

:smile:

theoretically it should be the future of programming in autocad, I theoretically say because we are not yet 100% sure if autodesk will not take into account the new vba 7.
on this aspect there are still no noises for the new version 2013.
