Remarks
Captures, restores, and enumerates snapshots of document sets. Snapshots are sorted in descending order from latest to oldest. For performance considerations, this class is implemented with delay loading, so the contents are not loaded until one of its public members is accessed. Using this class requires versioning to be enabled on the parent list of the DocumentSet object.
To access any of the properties of this class, users must have SPBasePermissions.ViewListItems permissions. Get an object of the DocumentSetVersionCollection class only from DocumentSetVersionCollection property.
