The ListChildren method returns only child items that the user has permission to view. The items that are returned may not represent a complete list of child items of the specified parent item.
If the ListChildren method is called on the root of the report server database with My Reports enabled, the method returns an array of CatalogItem objects containing properties for the folder My Reports. If the user is anonymous and My Reports is enabled, the properties for My Reports are not returned when ListChildren is called on the root.
The ListChildren method can return the VirtualPath property of items in the report server database that support virtual paths. The virtual path is the path under which a user expects to see the item. For example, a report called "Report1" located in the user's personal My Reports folder has a virtual path equal to "/My Reports". The actual path of the item is /Users/Username/My Reports.
The majority of the properties this method returns are read-only. For more information about item properties in Reporting Services, see Report Server Item Properties.
