Get Component IDs Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the component IDs of the components in an assembly and subassemblies.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open an assembly document containing nested subassemblies.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Traverses the assembly and subassemblies.
// 2. Gets the name and component ID of each component in the assembly and
//    subassemblies.
// 3. Examine the Immediate window.
