Get BOM Tables Example (C#)

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:  
// 1. Create a console application using Visual C#.
// 2. Verify that all output is redirected to the Immediate window. (In
//    Visual Studio 2015, click Tools > Options > Debugging > General >
//    Redirect all Output Window text to the Immediate Window).
// 3. Click Project > Add Reference > install_dir/api/redist/CLR2/
//    SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll > OK. 
// 4. Substitute your license key for your_license_key in the code.
// 5. Copy the specified drawing document to another file name. 
// 6. Open the specified drawing document in SOLIDWORKS.
// 7. Ensure that both Bills of Materials are not hidden.
// 8. Save and rebuild the drawing.
// 9. Close SOLIDWORKS.
//
// Postconditions: Prints to the Immediate window:
// * Document:
//   * Path and filename
//   * Last saved date
// * For each BOM table that is not hidden in the document:
//   * Name
//   * Whether hidden
//   * Whether to display components with multiple configurations as one item
//   * Part configuration grouping setting
//   * Sheet name
//   * Number of views on the sheet
//   * Name of the custom property view for the sheet
//
// NOTE: Restore the original drawing document, as it is used elsewhere.
