FetchPrompt method

Calling this method will prompt the users with a dialog where they can select the document set they wish to work with. The options are All, Flagged or Selected documents. The method will return a Documents collection object, populated with the document set that was selected by the user.

This is one of the preferred methods of enumerating the result set.
