Hi all,

please tell me what VS version is recommended for VB.NET? In the dev guide I have read VS 2010 + .NET 4.0 for Bricscad 13. What about newer VS versions?

Thanks in Advance!

Peter

    Hi Peter,

    you can use VS 2012 or VS2013 as long as you use the supported .NET runtime is version 4.0 to build the .NET assemblies.
    get from http://www.microsoft.com/net/download/version-4
    I don't have any problems using VS 2012 and VS2013.
    The readme.txt file in the directory C:\Program Files\Bricsys\BricsCAD V13 en_US\API\dotNet has the following content:

    .NET API:

    The supported .NET runtime is version 4.0. http://www.microsoft.com/net/download/version-4
     ...............
    To setup a project with Visual studio:
    Create a class library using the class library wizard under your preferred .NET language. 
    There are currently two DLLs that need to be referenced, BrxMgd.DLL and TD_Mgd.DLL.
    These DLLs are located in your BricsCAD installation folder.
    An important note:  when referencing these two DLLs, its important to set the 'Copy Local' property  to false.
    All other DLLs such as referenced COM DLLs or satellite DLLs can have their the 'Copy Local' property to true, or as needed by your project.

    **Changes in V13**
    BRX12.DLL has been updated as BRX13.DLL, P/Invoke signatures depending on this file will need to be updated accordingly
    ..............
