# Institutions

`Institutions` is a generated, strongly typed `System.Data.DataSet` (from `Institutions.xsd`) describing bank/financial-institution reference data — routing/SWIFT/FEDWIRE identifiers, name, and address columns. No code in this library, and no confirmed consumer in this repository, uses this dataset.**

## Purpose
- Provide a strongly typed schema for bank/financial-institution reference rows (`LYONS_ID`, `LOC`, `NAME`, `MICR`, `FRAC`, `ACH`, address, phone, `FEDWIRE`, `SWIFT`, and related columns), generated from `Institutions.xsd`.
- Correlate by naming convention with the `SAIF.Legacy.BankValidator` NuGet reference declared in this project, though no source-level usage link was found.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Policy`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Policy` (`PolicyCommon`)

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Institutions` (DataSet) | `Public Class Institutions Inherits DataSet` | Root generated typed dataset container for institution reference rows. |
| `InstitutionDataTable` | `Public Class InstitutionDataTable Inherits DataTable` | Strongly typed table of institution rows with generated column accessors. |
| `InstitutionRow` | `Public Class InstitutionRow Inherits DataRow` | Strongly typed row exposing each institution column as a typed property. |
| `InstitutionRowChangeEvent` | `Public Class InstitutionRowChangeEvent Inherits EventArgs` | Generated event-args type for institution row change notifications. |
| `InstitutionRowChangeEventHandler` | `Public Delegate Sub InstitutionRowChangeEventHandler(sender As Object, e As InstitutionRowChangeEvent)` | Generated delegate type for institution row change event handlers. |

## Behavioral notes
- This is fully generator-produced code (from `Institutions.xsd`); no hand-written logic exists on any of these types.
- No operation in this library populates, queries, or otherwise touches `Institutions`; it is declared but unused within this library's compiled surface.**

## Constraints and usage notes
- Any consumption of this dataset would occur in an external application; this library only ships the generated schema.**

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or
> contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements
> marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
