Does anybody know how to create an instance for an InDesign Application?
The following VB Code works:

Private myInDesign As InDesign.Application
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application")

I'm trying convert a VB program the automates Adobe InDesign into C# syntax. I tried the following code:

InDesign.Application indApp;
indApp = new InDesign.Application();

Which generates an error - "Cannot create an instance of the abstract class interface or 'InDesign.Application'".

If anybody out there knows how to connect C# to InDesign, I would appreciate if you could let me know how? Thank you

For creating an instance in C# for Indesign. Use the below coding:

Indesign.Application InDApp = (InDesign.Application)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Indesign.Application"));
