Get Table Cell Text Example (C#)

This example shows how to get all of the cell text from a BOM table using the SolidWorks Document Manager API.

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Preconditions:

// 1. Read the SolidWorks Document Manager API Help

//    Getting Started topic and ensure that the

//    required DLLs are registered.

// 2. Ensure that the latest SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll

//    interop assembly is loaded in the project

//    (right-click on the project in Project Explorer, click

//    Add Reference, select the interop assembly from the .NET

//    tab or browse for the DLL in <SolidWorks_install_dir>/api/redist

//    directory).

// 3. In SolidWorks, create a part document with a BOM table.

// 4. Save the part and close it.

// 5. Substitute your license key for "your_license_key" in the code.

// 6. Substitute the new file name for sFile in the code.

//

// Postconditions: The Immediate Window displays the BOM

// table row and column count and all of the table's cell

// text in row order.
