Remarks
In the methods of this class, if the collection path is provided as the empty string (""), then it denotes the top level collection. If the property name is empty string, then it denotes the default property of the collection.
Collections can contain properties and sub-collections. Sub-collections paths are described with the separators like directories in the file system. Likewise, the separator is '\' (back-slash) character.
Examples
Example of a sub-collection path would be: "Root Collection\Internal Collection\Leaf Collection".
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
