    Question Error in a sample code ?

    Hi Guys !

    Im realy new to Autocad .NET

    Im using MVS2010 Express and Autocad Architecture 2011

    Im trying a sample in autocad help and I dont know why there are errors ?

    The attached printscreens shows the error in the code below...
    Code:
    Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices
    Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
    Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop
    
    Public Class Class3
        <CommandMethod("PrefsSetCursor")> Public Sub PrefsSetCursor()
    
            '' This example sets the crosshairs of the AutoCAD drawing cursor
            '' to full screen.
    
            '' Access the Preferences object
            Dim acPrefComObj As AcadPreferences = Application.Preferences
    
            '' Use the CursorSize property to set the size of the crosshairs
            acPrefComObj.Display.CursorSize = 100
    
        End Sub
    End Class
    Thanks in advance !

    Try this instead (changes in red):

    Code:
    Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices
    Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
    Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Interop
    
    Public Class Class3
        <CommandMethod("PrefsSetCursor")> _
        Public Sub PrefsSetCursor()
            Dim acPrefComObj As Object = Application.Preferences
            acPrefComObj.Display.CursorSize = 100
        End Sub
    End Class
    Tested successfully using Civil 3D 2011.

    Also, when you have an error like that, if you hover the red underscore, you'll be presented a drop down button which usually offers some options to correct the error detected.

    Given the simplicity of the task being performed, this can be written a bit more succinctly:

    Code:
    Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
    
    Public Class Class3
        <CommandMethod("PrefsSetCursor2")> _
        Public Sub PrefsSetCursor2()
            Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices. _
                Application.Preferences.Display.CursorSize = 100
        End Sub
    End Class
