Detailed Description

Example of using the Composite Pattern in C#.

The Composite pattern is used when a collection of objects is to be formed in a hierarchical form where each object needs to be treated like any other object but some objects can contain other objects.

This example uses a file structure of file and directories to represent each object type.
