<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>This method always returns a non-<b>null</b> <a class="xref" href="C1.C1Preview.IndexEntryCollection.html">IndexEntryCollection</a>,
creating it if it did not exist.
To test whether an index entry already contains any sub-entries
without creating the <a class="xref" href="C1.C1Preview.IndexEntry.Children.html#C1_C1Preview_IndexEntry_Children">Children</a> collection,
use the <a class="xref" href="C1.C1Preview.IndexEntry.HasChildren.html#C1_C1Preview_IndexEntry_HasChildren">HasChildren</a> property.</p>
