Syntax

'Declaration
<DefaultMemberAttribute("Item")> _
Public NotInheritable Class HierarchyCollection
    Implements IDisposable, IEnumerable, ICollection

[DefaultMemberAttribute("Item")] 
public sealed class HierarchyCollection : IDisposable, IEnumerable, ICollection

[DefaultMemberAttribute(L"Item")] 
public ref class HierarchyCollection sealed : IDisposable, IEnumerable, ICollection

/** @attribute DefaultMemberAttribute("Item") */ 
public final class HierarchyCollection implements IDisposable, IEnumerable, 
    ICollection

DefaultMemberAttribute("Item") 
public final class HierarchyCollection implements IDisposable, IEnumerable, 
    ICollection

Remarks

While the HierarchyCollection externally represents a collection of Hierarchy objects, the collection is internally loaded and managed in one of two ways, depending on the parent of the collection:

If the parent object was referenced as a result of a query, as in the case of a Set referenced from a Axis, the collection represents the members referenced by that query.
If the parent object was referenced as a result of a request for metadata, as in the case of a Dimension referenced from a CubeDef, the collection represents the members referenced by the definition of the parent object.
