HELP: Please suggest language to use in AutoCAD 2004

[fly2moon2]

Hi,

I have ever done some programming in AutoCAD 13 age. But I've lost track of development languages ever since.

What are the programming languages available for AutoCAD 2004? Is it still LISP?

Ultimately, I would like to web-enable my application, i.e. to display a dwg digital map on the browser and provides function to locate places when user input a building name (just like what most district maps web sites perform nowadays). Currently, we are developing ASP.NET pages in VB. Following this idea, what language is available in AutoCAD I should sought for? And where I can learn more about the language?

Any idea on how to do based on my need?

thanks in advance,
jackling

If you're already writing in VB, that has pretty full control of acad via activex. Check the autocad.Customization.vba newsgroup for more info. Lisp is still there too if you want. and has great access to activex through the newer vl- vla- vlax- vlr- functions. If you're already using .Net, that too can connect...see www.acadx.com for more info on .net / acad...and although i know nothing about it, i assume if you're creating a web app you'll be pretty deep into the net framework. of course ObjectArx is the big daddy so if you want to play with the heavyweights.....
