LogicObject.GetAlias(string)

Returns an IUANode C# object that corresponds to the node pointed to by the alias passed in the argument. Access the node to which a known alias points

static IUANode GetAlias(string aliasName);

Arguments

aliasName (string): TheBrowseName of the alias.

Returns

IUANode: A C# object that corresponds to the node pointed to by the alias.

Example

The following example shows an API that returns a C# object corresponding to the node pointed to by the alias Motor, which Speed property value is read and assigned to the myMotorSpeed variable.

Tip: The (MotorType) cast operator changes the object type returned by the API from IUANode to MotorType. This is useful if you want to access the Speed property of refMotor directly.

var refMotor = (MotorType)LogicObject.GetAlias("Motor");
var myMotorSpeed = refMotor.Speed;
