VirtualFileSystemNode Object (IVirtualFileSystemNode Interface)

This object represents a node of a virtual file system (VFS). These nodes provide access to export results obtained from the ExportToMemory method of the Project object and the ExportToMemory method of the Batch object within a VFS.

A virtual file system is a tree-based model of a file storage resided in memory. A VFS provides the functionality of a file system and maps a file storage structure and composition to a user space. Generally, each virtual file system node is either a file or a directory. The root node of a VFS is always a directory.

Note: Memory occupied by export results will not be freed up while the root VirtualFileSystemNode object obtained as a result of the ExportToMemory methods remains alive. You also can call the ReleaseMemory method for freeing up memory.
