简述如下：
API帮助文档的例子ZHeightColors是用VBA写的，它首先通过GetExistingFacets获取当前实体的面片信息，基于此构造Client Graphics，然后沿着实体的包围盒Z方向，最小值位置设置为红色，最高值设置为蓝色，期间的颜色为渐变色。
VBA

将此段代码贴到VB.NET，调整一些语法错误，编译通过。运行会发现GetExistingFacets 失败。这是为什么呢？
1. 首先是在.NET 中定义COM的整型数组，需要用Integers. MSDN是这样说的
If you are interfacing with components not written for the .NET Framework,for example Automation or COM objects,keep in mind that Long has a different data width (32 bits) in other environments. If you are passing a 32-bit argument to such a component,declare it as Integer instead of Long in your new Visual Basic code.
2. 注意数组以0为起始序号，而很多VBA的数组定义为：
Dim stuff(1 to 10) As Double
3. VB.NET中需要对数组初始化，而不能只是定义。例如
Dim adVertexCoords() As Double
需要变成
Dim adVertexCoords() As Double = {}
基于这些注意事项，以上的VBA代码修改如下后，就能成功运行了。
