Has anyone successfully written a VB EXE or DLL that is compatible with both AutoCAD 2000/2000i/2002 and 2004/2005?

Any things to watch out for?

I assume the object libraries for 2004 and 2005 are one and the same so there should be no problem there correct?

If you only use functions available to AutoCAD 2000 and late bind to
everything (ie. declare all variables as Object) then it should work.

yes I did and don't have any problem so far;
debug your program with early binding(referencing to AutoCAD 2000/2002 etc.
object library (ies) through "Reference..." option, then compile it with
late binding. You shouldn't have any problems. I you whish to cover 14
version too, you may need to create two objects (or classes) to cover
differences between 14 and up object models

Thanks for the replies. What about the color property. There is a big difference between 2000 and 2004 with the way that is set?

The new property is TrueColor. The Color property is still available in 2004/2005. It is a hidden member.
