Are the Assembly Configurations Loaded Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to find out if the configurations in an assembly are loaded, whether the configurations need to be updated and rebuilt, and the configuration types.

' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' Preconditions:

' 1. Assembly document opened by the macro exists.

' 2. Open the Immediate window.

'

' Postconditions:

' 1. All configurations are loaded.

' 2. Examine the Immediate window to see the states of the

'    configurations.

'

' NOTE: Because the assembly document is used elsewhere, do not save

' the document when you close it.
