Unable to add axDBLib to C# project

Asked by iwtblj247 in C# Programming Language, AutoCAD Software

Tags: c#, visual studio, autocad, autodesk

I'm in Visual Studio 2005.  I'm trying add a reference to the AutoCad/ObjectDBX Common 17.0 type library, but when I do, it shows up with a yellow exclamation mark next to it.  If I double click it it says "This project cannot be viewed in the object browser because it is unavailable or not yet built.  Please ensure that the project is available and built."

Some additional details.  I don't know enough about programming for AutoCAD to know if these are relevant.

I have 2 verisons of AutoCAD installed, 2005 and 2008.

If I add a reference to the AutoCad/ObjectDBX Common 16.0 type library it will add successfully, but when I try to compile, it says "Assembly 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop, Version=17.1.51.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=eed84259d7cbf30b' uses 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common, Version=17.1.51.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=eed84259d7cbf30b' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common, Version=16.1.63.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=eed84259d7cbf30b'      c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop\17.1.51.0__eed84259d7cbf30b\Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.dll      DOUtils"

If I go into C:\WINDOWS\assembly, I have 3 versions of both AutoCAD.Autodesk.Interop and AutoCAD.Autodesk.Interop.Common, 16.1.63.0, 17.1.51.0 and 17.0.54.0
