This example shows how to:

  • resolve all lightweight components

' 2. Open the Immediate window.
' 3. Run the macro.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Resolves all lightweight components
'    in the assembly.
' 2. Fixes the selected component.
' 3. Examine the Immediate window to verify.
'
NOTE: Because this assembly is used elsewhere,
