Program Class

The ToString method of DicomDataSet is used to convert an object instance to a human readable string.

Behind the scenes, the ToString method uses the DataSetDumper class which uses DataSetDumperOptions to provide extensive control over the formatting and output options. The second output demonstrates how to get the file offsets for a chapter 10 file.

This example also demonstrates usage of TryReadDataSet(DicomDataSet, DCSException). This method allows the invoker to read a dataset with encoding errors and return the elements that were successfully read and diagnostics that aid in determining where the encoding errors occurred.
