Rebuild All Configurations Without Activating Each Configuration Example (C#)

This example shows how to rebuild only those features that need to be rebuilt in all configurations without activating each configuration.

//-------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\pdmworks\speaker.sldasm.
// 2. Right-click membrane<1> and click Suppress in the active
//    configuration, Dual Speaker.
// 3. Click Don't Save.
// 4. Click the ConfigurationManager tab and right-click Single
//    Speaker Glueable and click Show Configuration to make this
//    configuration the active configuration.
// 5. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Gets whether each configuration needs to be rebuilt.
// 2. Rebuilds only those features that need to be rebuilt in all 
//    configurations without activating each configuration.
// 3. Gets whether each configuration needs to be rebuilt.
// 4. Examine the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
