Programming webcast: .NET for LISP Programmers

Another webcast you might be interested in:


Free AutoCAD programming webcast: .NET for LISP Programmers

As mentioned in this previous post, my team delivers regular webcasts on programming with Autodesk technologies.

Assuming you're reading this while the metaphorical ink's still damp, it's still not too late to register for a class being held on Thursday October 16th at 8am Pacific, 5pm CET: AutoCAD: .NET for LISP Programmers.

Otherwise you should be able to find a recording of the webcast on this page within a few weeks of the session being delivered. In fact, here's the recording of the last time this session was delivered (although it may well have been updated slightly, as the session will also be delivered at AU 2008).

Here's a brief synopsis of the topic covered by this webcast:

You know that .NET is a modern and powerful programming environment. But, no matter how much you might want to start using it, you can't abandon all your old LISP code. We’ll show you how to write .NET code that can interoperate with your existing LISP code, with a special emphasis on user interface components.

Hello Melanie,

Congratulations on your second son! :-)

My comment on this post might look irrelevant to you, but I can not help and find some other way to connect to you.

Actually I am stuck with a problem. I was asked to do some R&D and find some solution through which we can have intelligence inside an AutoCAD drawing (from within AutoCAD).

Right now, they have done it using DBConnect, and linking with all the fields, but, according to AutoCAD, we must bind only with the primary key in a table from which the link is bound (makes sense).

They do not want to go into query details, nor they want to do some manual work by finding a row in the table, and clicking it to highlight the object (already achieved).

They want to somehow have a functionality to search object by its tag number (another key in table, it is unique). And highlight those objects on which this tag number is assigned. And then they can view other properties of that object at the same window (without going into TableView from DBConnect).

I hope you understand what I am trying to explain.

I am a software developer working mainly with C#. And this is totally new to me. I have also tried tweaking around with LSP, but of no use.

If you can guide me to some AddOn, LSP command, or anything else. I will feel obliged!

Desperate and Distressed!

Thanks and Regards,
Yahya
