Get Unique Name of Section View Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the unique name of a section view.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open a drawing document with three views,
//    two of which are section views with the
//    same display name.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window 
// for the display names and internal unique names
// of the section views.
