Find Revisions Using Component Example (C#)
This example shows how to find the revision numbers using
the revision number component named Alpha Revision Component.
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.
// 2. Click File > New > Project > C# > Windows Forms Application.
// 3. Type FindRevisionsCSharp in Name.
// 4. Click the Browse button and browse to the folder where to create the project.
// 5. Click OK.
// 6. Create a form similar to the form shown above and change:
// a. Label to VaultsLabel.
// b. Combo box to VaultsComboBox.
// c. Button to FindRevisionsButton.
// 7. Replace the code in Form1.cs with this code.
// 8. Replace the code in Form1.Designer.cs with this code.
// 9. Add EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll as a reference (right-click the project
// name in the Solution Explorer, click Add Reference, click
// 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, click Add, and click Close).
// 10. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, click Properties, and set
// Embed Interop Types to False to handle methods that pass arrays of
// structures.
// 11. Open the Immediate window.
// 12. Switch back to the Form1.cs code window.
// 13. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Displays a dialog.
// 2. Select a vault.
// 3. Click the Find revisions that use Alpha Revision Component button.
// 4. Prints the names of the revision numbers using the revision number
// component Alpha Revision Component to the Immediate window.
// 5. Examine the Immediate window.
// 6. Close the dialog.
