	DataRow[] rows = TK.GetTagChildrenAsDataRow("TagName");

    // just for verification
	int j = rows.Length;
	
	foreach (DataRow row in rows)
	{
		// In this example, we are getting only the Name and Type, all columns from UnsTas tables can be accessed using this method
		string name = TK.ToText(row["Name"]);		
		int type = TK.ToInt(row["Type"]);
		
	    string typeName = await TK.GetElementTypeAsync(name);
