NOTE: If using the .NET Framework 4.0 primary interop assembly provided with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, see Using .NET Framework 4.0 in Stand-alone Applications.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
//  1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
//     a. Click File > New > Project > Visual C# > Windows Forms Application.
//     b. Type BatchAddFiles_CSharp in Name.
//     c. Click Browse and navigate to the folder where to create the project.
//     d. Click OK
//     e. Click Show All Files in the Solution Explorer toolbar and expand 
//        Form1.cs in the Solution Explorer.
//     f. Replace the code in Form1.cs with this code.
//     g. To create the form, replace the code in Form1.Designer.cs with 
//        this code.

//  2. Add EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll as a reference (right-click the project
//     name in the Solution Explorer, click Add Reference, click 
//     Assemblies > Framework in the left-side panel, browse to the top folder of 
//     your SolidWorks Enterprise PDM installation, locate and click 
//     EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll, click Open, and click Add).
//  3. Add Microsoft.VisualBasic as a reference (click 
//     COM in the left-side panel, click 
//     Microsoft.VisualBasic, click Add, and click Close).
//  4. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, click Properties, and set 
//     Embed Interop Types to False to handle methods that pass arrays of 
//     structures.
//  5. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.

//        1. Click a file outside the vault.
//        2. Click Open.
//     d. Click Select file inside vault to copy to vault.
//     e. In the Select File dialog:

//        1. Click a file in the vault.
//        2. Click Open.
//     f. Click Commit all files to vault.
//  2. Click Add in the Batch Items dialog box.
