AVEVA NET Validation should ensure that there is no duplicate Class Names

A customer is using ISM to help configure AVEVA NET (AIM) and AVEVA Engineering and want to ensure that the Class Names are unique. Currently ISM only ensures uniquness at the ID level and that is usually within Context.

As this is a fundamental way that ISM works We should not change this, however we should support the customer's request we should therefore have the option in to identify Duplicate Names as an error as part of the validation process.

This has already been worked on and exisits in code but has not ever been released

Original Customer Request:

I can create as many classes as I want, all named the same thing. That's not good. It works contrary to how other Aveva systems enforce naming. It doesn't matter if they have different IDs, Aveva Engineering and Aveva NET do NOT like this if you use an ISM export to try to configure them.
