Get Current Name of Configuration of Suppressed Component Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to get 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 VB.NET 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.
'    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.
