Get Components in Each BOM Table Row Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to get the components in each row of a BOM table annotation.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open install_dir\samples\tutorial\assemblyvisualize\food_processor.sldasm.
' 2. Create a drawing from the assembly.
' 3. Select Insert > Tables > Bill of Materials.
' 4. Select BOM Type > Parts only.
' 5. Select Part Configuration Grouping >
'           Display configurations of the same part as separate items.
' 6. Click the green check mark to accept the settings.
'
' Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window.
'
' NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere, do not save changes to it.
