Session: CP231-3

Title: Bridging the Gap, Extending AutoLISP® with VB.NET

Instructor: Lee Ambrosius

Course Description: AutoLISP is a very powerful programming language, but it just does not offer the same knockout punch that VB.NET and the AutoCAD® .NET API have. This class explores the fundamentals of VB.NET and how you can enhance your existing AutoLISP routines with it. During this class, you will create some basic commands and functions for use in AutoCAD as well as with AutoLISP routines. The examples that will be covered will show how to work with AutoCAD objects, get input from the user, and create a basic form among other general programming concepts. This class expects you to know some AutoLISP, but is a beginner level class for VB.NET and the AutoCAD .NET API.
