Remarks

The Datasets method returns an enumerator over the datasets in the workspace of the specified dataset type. Not to be confused with DatasetNames, Datasets will return a fully hydrated dataset object.

See esriDatasetType for more information on dataset types.

Using a dataset type of esriDTAny will return all the datasets or datasets in the workspace, across all dataset types. Note that only the top-level datasets in the workspace are returned by these methods. In particular, if a workspace contains both stand-alone feature classes and additional feature classes that are part of a feature dataset, then calling the Datasets property on the workspace with a dataset type of esriDTFeatureClass will return only the standalone feature classes.
