Load an Addin into DraftSight

These days i am developing two plugins for Autocad 2012 & DraftSight 2013.so when i was developing the plugin i got in to big trouble.Normally in the Autocad , we can load the .dll file simply typing the command "NETLOAD" but in the Draftsight i could not able to do that. It said
" D:\c \projects\c projects\DSAddinCSharp1\DSAddinCSharp1\bin\Debug\DSAddinCSharp1.dll is not a valid add-in"

Finally i got the solution ... :)
You need to register the addin to your Windows system. For example, if the system is .NET 4 framework of 64 bit.
Please refer below for the steps to register the add-in:
1)      Open a Windows Command Prompt.(Run as an Administrator)
2)      Change directory to folder C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 (or the .NET current version)
3)      Type this command with those options:
               regasm /codebase /tlb "<Windows path\adding name>.DLL"
4)      If the addin DLL was registered successfully, the Windows Command will return this message:
"Types registered successfully. Assembly exported to 'C:\<addin name>\.tlb', and the type library was registered successfully"
5)      Load the addin in DraftSight.

Note: If you are trying to register Release version.dll please run Windows command prompt as an Administrator. For this select select 'Run as an Administrator' from right click menu.

Hope this helps!

Multithreading C# : Part 01

Multithreading with C# Think about old days, you have one central processing unit (CPU) in your pc which is capable of executing one operation at a time. If we have 5 operations to run then we have to wait till one operation is completed and then only other one can start. What will happen if the running operation has a bug and got stuck, then whole computer going to be freeze and useless unless we restart it. This is a huge problem. So if we can run multiple operation in the same time that would be great because it will solve this problem.

C# Character Escape Sequences

Character combinations consisting of a backslash ( \ ) followed by a letter or by a combination of digits are called "escape sequences." To represent a newline character, single quotation mark, or certain other characters in a character constant, you must use escape sequences. An escape sequence is regarded as a single character and is therefore valid as a character constant.
