Get Model Textures Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to get the texture applied to components that are displayed in lightweight mode.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open in lightweight mode:
'    <SolidWorks_install_dir>\samples\tutorial\api\TopAssembly1.SLDASM
' 2. Open an Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window for the textures of the
' lightweight components in the model.
'
' NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere,
' do not save changes when closing it.
