Rename Components and Save Assembly Example (C#)
This example shows how to rename
components in an assembly and returns an error when attempting to save the
assembly without first saving its references.
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified assembly exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified assembly.
// 2. Selects a component.
// 3. Renames the selected component and the other component with the
// the same name.
// 4. Attempts to save the assembly.
// 5. Gets whether the assembly has renamed components.
// 6. Examine the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
