Provides access to members that supply dataset information.
When To Use
The IDataset interface is the main interface used to manage a dataset. For example, use the members in this interface to get the name of the dataset, copy, delete or rename the dataset.

Remarks
Not all of the methods and properties of IDataset are available to a Graph object such as a Geometric Network. The Copy and Rename methods are not supported, along with the PropertySet and SubSets properties. To copy a geometric network, see the GeoDBDataTransfer object. To return a listing of the feature classes within a Geometric Network, use the IFeatureClassContainer interface.See Also
