Get List of Configurations Example (C#)

This example shows how to get a list of configuration names for the active document.

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified assembly document exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified assembly document.
// 2. Gets the name of the file, name of the active configuration,
//    and the names of all configurations.
// 3. Examine the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
