# Institutions

`Institutions` is an auto-generated typed `DataSet` describing banking institutions (34 all-string columns per row: routing/location codes, name, address/phone/fax fields, SWIFT/FEDWIRE/TELEX identifiers, and notes). It is compiled into this assembly from `Institutions.xsd`, but no code in this library references it, and byte-identical copies of the same designer file are compiled into eight other projects in this repository — it is a duplicated, unused artifact carried by the shared project template.*

## Purpose
- Defines an in-memory `Institution` table schema for banking institution data; no fill/adapter code or consumer exists in this library, so it represents no live database interaction.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Application.Claim`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Application.Claim` (embedded, ProjectReference)

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Institution` (nested `InstitutionDataTable`) | `Public Class InstitutionDataTable Inherits DataTable` | Typed table of banking-institution rows (34 string columns: `LYONS_ID`, `LOC`, `NAME`, `MICR`, `FRAC`, `ACH`, address/phone/fax fields, `FEDWIRE`, `SWIFT`, `TELEX`, `NOTES`, etc.); unreferenced in this library.* |
| `InstitutionRow` | `Public Class InstitutionRow Inherits DataRow` | Typed row accessor for the `Institution` table; unreferenced in this library.* |

## Behavioral notes
- This type is auto-generated from `Institutions.xsd`/`.xsc`/`.xss`; it is not hand-maintained and carries no business logic beyond standard `System.Data.DataSet` plumbing.
- Its purpose within this specific library — beyond being carried over from a shared project template — is unknown.**

## Constraints and usage notes
- Do not treat this type as evidence of a live banking-institution feature in `SAIF.Application.Claim`; no fill, adapter, or consumer code exists in this library's scanned source.

> **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.
