public interface IDatasetContainer2
extends IDatasetContainer, Serializable

Provides access to members that return datasets by name, ID and index.

Superseded By

IDatasetContainer3

Remarks

The IDatasetContainer2 interface provides access to properties that return datasets by name, ID and index. It also provides the mechanism for creating datasets through the user of the data element. Use the DatasetTypes method to determine the supported datasets for the container.
