Calling commands from AutoCAD events using .NET is possible by using the new API capabilities in AutoCAD 2016.

Yes, absolutely. It is a very popular way to automate AutoCAD.

I recently gave a couple answers on this topic.

First, have a look here for a breakdown of some of the most common APIs. Follow the links in that post to find all the latest tutorials.

Second, have a look here for information how to set yourself up in Visual studio and get developing.

Both posts have a number links to excellent developer resources.
