Remarks
The XmlConsoleDataSource object displays a hierarchical structure of actions to the author. This control is independent of the user interface (UI), which means that any UI can be developed to read this ConsoleDataSource object and display the actions. Examples of UIs that use this object include the PublishingMenu and QuickAccessMenu. A single XML that specifies how the actions should be structured populates each XmlConsoleDataSource object. This XML file includes the definitions for each action..
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.
