This example shows how to get the properties of a drawing's sheets.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 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\SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll
// 4. Ensure that the specified drawing document exists.
// 5. Open the Immediate window.
// 6. Substitute your_license_key with your SOLIDWORKS Document
//    Manager license key.
// 7. Run the macro.
//
// Postconditions: Examine the Immediate window.
