Sub Main
    Dim drawingDoc = GetDrawingDoc(ThisDoc.ChangeExtension(".idw"))
    If drawingDoc Is Nothing Then
        Throw New Exception("The drawing must be open.")
    End If

    ' The Using statement takes care of calling Dispose on the object.
    ' Either one of these Using statements will work:
    'Using std = iLogicVb.CreateObjectProvider(drawingDoc)
    Using stdProvider = StandardObjectFactory.Create(drawingDoc)
        Dim thatDrawing = stdProvider.ThisDrawing
        Dim modelDoc = thatDrawing.ModelDocument
        If modelDoc IsNot ThisDoc.Document Then
            Throw New Exception("The drawing has the wrong ModelDocument.")
        Else
            TestManagedDrawing(stdProvider)
        End If
    End Using
End Sub

Sub TestManagedDrawing(stdProvider As IStandardObjectProvider)
    Dim thatDrawing = stdProvider.ThisDrawing
    thatDrawing.BeginManage("Group1")
    ' The model document in which this rule is running must contain a True/False parameter named AnnotationsWanted
    If AnnotationsWanted Then
