Get Custom Properties for Configuration Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the names, types, values, and resolved values of the active configuration's custom properties. It also shows how to add a custom property to the configuration.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Open a part document.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Inspect the Immediate window.
// 2. A date custom property is added to the part's configuration.
// 3. The custom property is deleted from the configuration.
