Syntax
public DataSetInfoCollection Children { get; }Property Value
Default: Empty collection.
A collection of other DataSetInfo instances, containing more specific metadata for parts of the data.
Remarks
Since each child node can have its own children, it is possible to represent a tree structure of nodes, which is useful for some data formats. The simplest example is a multi-file dataset where the DataSetInfo at root level represents the entire dataset, with a child that represents each individual file. A more complicated example is the hierarchical structure of the RpfDataSet, which can refer to several TOC files, each of which can contain several boundary rectangles, each of which can contain several frame files. The DataSetInfo root will then represent the entire dataset, with a child for each TOC file, a grandchild for each boundary rectangle, and a great-grandchild for each frame file. In such a tree structure, the contents (if any) of the AdditionalInfo can depend on the node level - for example, in an RpfDataSet, the additional info would occur at the grandchildren nodes, since that info comes from the boundary rectangles.
