      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.IHierarchyData" /> interface is implemented by classes that represent nodes of a hierarchical structure, and track the hierarchical relationships to their parent and child nodes. Classes that implement the <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.IHierarchyData" /> interface can be contained in collections that implement the <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.IHierarchicalEnumerable" /> interface.</para>

      <para>Exposes a node of a hierarchical data structure, including the node object and some properties that describe characteristics of the node. Objects that implement the <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.IHierarchyData" /> interface can be contained in <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.IHierarchicalEnumerable" /> collections, and are used by ASP.NET site navigation and data source controls.</para>

          <para>While many classes that represent hierarchical data nodes, such as the <see cref="T:System.Web.SiteMapNode" /> class, implement the <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.IHierarchyData" /> interface directly, other classes only act as a wrapper for a class that does not implement the interface. The <see cref="P:System.Web.UI.IHierarchyData.Item" /> property is provided for these design situations, when business objects are functionally equivalent to an <see cref="T:System.Web.UI.IHierarchyData" /> object but cannot be redesigned easily.</para>
