    Children Property
    In This Topic
    Holds the hierarchical directory structure for DICOM directory files
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    
    Public ReadOnly Property Children As DicomDataSetCollection
    'Usage
     
    
    Dim instance As DicomDataSet
    Dim value As DicomDataSetCollection
     
    value = instance.Children
    public DicomDataSetCollection Children {get;}

    property DicomDataSetCollection^ Children {

    Remarks
    Recursive use of this property and the datasets contained within it allows representation and manipulation of the hierarchical structure of a DICOMDIR file. The Children property exists for all DicomDataSet objects, but is only created by AddToDirectory and is used by Write method. There are normally five levels, the objects representing the DICOMDIR file itself, and the four hierarchical levels PATIENT, STUDY, SERIES and IMAGE.
