Convert Anno to Shapefile (VBA vs VB.net)

[Anonymous User]

I have some VBA code I have been using to convert annotation to polygon shapes of the text.  I am now trying to convert to VB.net or C# (I have done both) for use in batch processing.  I have successfully converted the application however the fonts scale wrong.  I suspect it has to do with my use of IMapDocument instead of IMxDocument.  The output for both programs as well as the source is attached.  I have been messing with this for a week any help would be appreciated.

Hi!

Have You found a solution for the Scale issue when VBA code is being translated to .Net (VB or C#) ?

VBA code seems to be working fine (http://help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/vba_desktop/conceptualhelp/index.html#//0001000000r4000000)... but I haven't tried Multi-part Annotations - there seems to be some issues (http://forums.esri.com/thread.asp?c=93&f=993&t=292545)

No I didn't, I just created a command button in c# that runs in an active version of Arcmap and run it manually instead of from a command line.

So, please correct me if I'm wrong, You have used C# Code for creating dll for upper mentioned conversion, which You have connected to the button in ArcMap (Customize...).
You havent created Extension or AddIn for ArcGIS Desktop, right?

Because the code is executing in the ArcGIS Desktop Environment (ArcMap), You could use IMxDocument instead of IMapDocument which caused You problems.

Would You be so kind and provide C# code, so I could avoid translating VB.Net to C#.Net.

Looking forward to Your answer!

Here is the code.  I implemented a base command, there is a walk through in the online help.
