This example shows how to find the revision numbers using the revision number component named Alpha Revision Component.
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. // 2. Click File > New > Project > C# > Windows Forms Application. // 3. Type FindRevisionsCSharp in Name. // 4. Click the Browse button and browse to the folder where to create the project. // 5. Click OK. // 6. Create a form similar to the form shown above and change: // a. Label to VaultsLabel. // b. Combo box to VaultsComboBox. // c. Button to FindRevisionsButton. // 7. Replace the code in Form1.cs with this code. // 8. Replace the code in Form1.Designer.cs with this code. // 9. Add EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll as a reference (right-click the project // name in the Solution Explorer, click Add Reference, click // 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, click Add, and click Close). // 10. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, click Properties, and set // Embed Interop Types to False to handle methods that pass arrays of // structures. // 11. Open the Immediate window. // 12. Switch back to the Form1.cs code window. // 13. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5. // // Postconditions: // 1. Displays a dialog. // 2. Select a vault. // 3. Click the Find revisions that use Alpha Revision Component button. // 4. Prints the names of the revision numbers using the revision number // component Alpha Revision Component to the Immediate window. // 5. Examine the Immediate window. // 6. Close the dialog. //----------------------------------------------------------------------------
