    Question How to install Autocad Template

    I am attempting to learn VB.NET for AutoCAD. I am using the Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. I have downloaded the SDK from Autodesk and followed the instructions from the article below

    http://through-the-interface.typepad...g_started.html

    I never get the app wizard for creating an "Autocad Managed VB Project". Is this not available for the express edition??? I can't find any way to debug the code using ACAD

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    The SDK from Autodesk only works with Visual Studio not the free express editions.
    The free express editions do not allow you to debug with external programs.

    However there are a few options - here a two:

    Use sharpdevelop: (an open source visual studio with debugging capability)

    Install this free program to Visual Express 2008: (this is what i use)

    Download and install the bottom one -

    I'm also learning the .net initially with VB but now C# as alot of the code examples are written with it. Good to know both to make best of resources available on net.
