APPLOAD
Loads and unloads applications and defines which applications to load at
startup.
.NET
With the Microsoft .NET Framework, you can create applications that
interoperate with AutoCAD using programming languages like VB .NET and
C#.
Overview of .NET
The .NET Framework is a language-neutral programming environment
developed by Microsoft. In addition to the run-time environment, the
Framework provides class libraries that facilitate development of Windows-
and Web-based applications that are interoperable and secure.
AutoCAD supports .NET application development with ObjectARX managed
wrapper classes. See the “AutoCAD Managed Class Reference” and the
“ObjectARX Managed Wrapper Classes” sections of the ObjectARX Developer's
Guide, both in the ObjectARX SDK, for a complete list of the managed wrapper
classes that are available. For more information about the .NET Framework,
see the Microsoft documentation.
Managed wrapper classes are provided for most of the ObjectARX SDK, enabling
you to write applications in any language that is supported by the .NET
Framework, including VB .NET and C#. The managed classes implement
database functionality and enable you to write applications that read and
write drawing format (DWG) files. They also provide access to AutoCAD user
interface elements, including the command prompt and feature dialog boxes,
the AutoCAD editor, and the publishing and plotting components.
Loading Managed Applications in AutoCAD
To load a managed application, enter NETLOAD at the AutoCAD command
prompt and browse to the desired DLL file. Managed applications are unloaded
only when AutoCAD exits.
