);

Arguments

aliasName
 (string)
The
BrowseName
 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;
