Get Current Name of Configuration of Suppressed Component (C#)

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 are registered.
// 2. Copy and paste this code into a C# 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. Click Add Reference
//    c. Click Browse.
//    d. Click install_dir\api\redist\CLR2\SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll.
//    e. Click Add.
//    f. Click OK.

// 4. Substitute your_license_key with your SOLIDWORKS 
//    Document Manager license key.
// 5. Substitute assembly_with_suppressed_comps with the path to an assembly
//    that contains one or more suppressed components.
// 6. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions: Examine the Immediate window for configuration information.
