Are the Assembly Configurations Loaded Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to find out if the configurations in an assembly are loaded, whether the configurations need to be updated and rebuilt, and the configuration types.

'------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Verify that the assembly document to open exists.
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Loads all configurations.
' 2. Examine the Immediate window to see the states of the
'    configurations.
'
' NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere, do not save
' changes.
