	ExtractSubPath	Extract part of the path.
	GetEnumerator	Get an enumerator to iterate over the PropertyHandle in this chain.
	GetHashCode	Constructs a hashcode from the hashcodes provided by the PropertyHandles in this chain. (Overrides ValueType..::GetHashCode()().)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IndexOf	Overloaded.
	Inequality	Compare two PropertyChains for inequality.
	IsStartingWith	Verify whether the supplied path is a subpath of the current one, beginning at the same root.
	Join	Joins two property chains together
	LeafsOf	Converts property chain array to property handle array by gathering leafs of each chain.

Public Fields

	Name	Description

Public Properties

	Name	Description
	Chain	Returns the complete property chain as array of PropertyHandles, starting with root, ending with leaf.
	Count	The number of PropertyHandle in this chain.
	IsEmpty	Returns true if the path is not containing any elements.
	IsRoot	Returns true if the path only contains a root property.
	IsSynchronized	No need for synchronisation, once created the path is never changed.
	Item	Access path element by index.
	Leaf	Returns the leaf property of the path, i.e. the outer most property.
	Parent	Returns the parent property handle, i.e. parent of the leaf or PropertyHandle.Null if the path is empty or only contains a root property (therefore no parent)
	Root	Returns root property handle or Null if the path is empty.
