This example shows how to create several folders in the vault at once.
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 BatchAddFolders_CSharp 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. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, click Properties, and set
// Embed Interop Types to False to handle methods that pass arrays of
// structures.
// 4. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Displays the Add
folders dialog box.

// b.
Type the name of a new folder to create in the root folder
// of the vault.
// c. Click
Add folder to the batch.
//
1. Displays a message that the folder is added to the batch.
//
2. Click OK.
// 2. Repeat
steps 1b-c repeatedly to add more folders to the batch.
