Get the Current Name of the Configuration of a Suppressed Component Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to obtain the current name of the configuration of a suppressed component.

'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Read the SolidWorks Document Manager API Getting Started topic
'    and ensure that the required DLLs have been registered.
' 2. Copy and paste this code into Module1.vb of a VB.NET console application
'    in Microsoft Visual Studio.
' 3. Add the SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll reference
'    to the project:
'    a. Right-click the solution in Solution Explorer.
'    b. Select Add Reference.
'    c. Click the Browse tab.
'    d. Select:
'       install_dir\api\redist\SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll
' 4. Also add the following references to the project:
'    System
'    System.Core
'    System.Data
'    System.Data.DataSetExtensions
'    System.Xml
'    System.Xml.Linq
' 5. Substitute your_license_code with your SolidWorks
'    Document Manager license key.
' 6. Substitute assembly_with_suppressed_comps with the path to an assembly
'    that contains one or more suppressed components.
' 7. Open an Output window.
'
' Postconditions: Inspect the Output window for configuration information.
'

' NOTE: This console application was developed using
' Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. If you use another version of
' Microsoft Visual Studio, you may need to add more references to get
' this program to compile and open an Immediate window to view output.
