Determine version

Using :

AcadApplication m_BricscadApp = (

AcadApplication)Marshal.GetActiveObject("BricscadApp.AcadApplication");

in C# will work for Bricscad V8 as well as Bricscad V9.

Once I have a reference, how can I see from m_BricscadApp which version I'm communicating with?

Both m_BricscadApp.name and m_BricscadApp.version give the same results for V8 and V9.

T.i.a,

    you might try getting the _vernum system variable

      [CommandMethod("getver")]
      public static void getver()
      {
       try
       {
        AcadApplication app = Application.AcadApplication as AcadApplication;
        if (app == null)
         throw new Exception("Could Not Get Application");
     
        AcadDocument doc = app.ActiveDocument;
        string ver = doc.GetVariable("_VERNUM") as string;
        doc.Utility.Prompt(ver);
       }
       catch (Exception ex)
       {
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
       }
      }

    Thank you Daniel.

    That's what I was looking for.

     

    Cheers,
