Remarks
This method supports the types of datasets that inherit from FileDataSet, except S57DataSet and VpfDataSet.
To read VPF data, you may instead use FromDirectory using the path to the directory containing the LAT file.
Note that RaveGeoDataSet does not inherit from FileDataSet since it does not support reading from one file only; however, the FromFile method will succeed on a RaveGeo file (extension .rlib), giving the same effect as calling FromDirectory on the directory.
