Remarks
If Path is an empty string, the full filename, including path, may be specified with this property. See the Path property how absolute and relative paths are interpreted.
For subclasses that are also subclasses of MultiFileDataSet the filename may contain wildcard characters, used to specify multiple files to load. A question mark matches exactly one character, and an asterisk matches zero or more characters. For instance, "A??_*.tif" will match all files beginning with an A, with the fourth character an underscore, and with a file extension of ".tif".
Tip
This property supports Virtual paths.
