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

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio.
//    a. Click File > New > Project > Visual C# > Windows Forms Application.
//    b. Type AddFiles 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 PDM Professional installation, locate and click 
//    EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll, click Open, and click Add).
// 3. Add EPDM.Interop.EPDMResultCode.dll as a reference (click Browse, locate and 
//    click EPDM.Interop.EPDMResultCode.dll, click Open, 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. Run the Administration tool, log in as admin, expand the vault, 
//    right-click File Types, click Duplicate file name settings, and 
//    click Do not allow duplicate files names in this file vault.
// 6  Ensure that at least one file exists in a subfolder in the vault and 
//    the same-named file exists outside the vault. 
// 7. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.
//
// Postconditions: 
// 1. Displays the Add file to vault root dialog box.
//    a. Select a vault view.
//    b. Click Browse to a file outside the vault
//       1. Locate a file outside the vault that exists in  
//          a subfolder in the vault.
//       2. Click Open.
//    c. Click Add file to vault root to add the selected file to the 
//       root folder of the vault.
//    d. Displays a message box warning you that the selected file is not 
//       unique in the vault, but that the file will be added to the vault root.
//    e. Click OK.
// 2. Close the Add file to vault root dialog box.      
// 3. Examine the vault root.
