Get Paths and Titles of Parents of Virtual Component (C#)

This example shows how to get the paths and titles of the parent assembly components of a virtual component.

//-----------------------------------------------------------
/ Preconditions:
// 1.
Open:
//    public_documents\samples\tutorial\api\assem2.sldasm

// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions: The paths and titles of the parent
// assembly components, up to and including the first non-virtual
//
parent assembly component, are printed in the Immediate Window.
