Convert multiple lwpolylines into multiple alignments (C#)

How to convert multiple lwpolylines into multiple alignments was a question in the Autodesk Civil 3D Customization forum. The original code was in VB.NET, but had some problems with the transactions, as I am more confident in C#, I was providing first the solution in C#.

The first part is just to create a selection with polylines only. The main part is encapsuled in a transaction. Inside this transaction it is ensured that a valid layer, an alignment style and an alignment label style exist, options are setted and than each polyline of the selection is converted to an alignment with a unique name.
