);

Arguments

aliasName

The
BrowseName
 of the alias.

IUANode

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 directly access the
Speed
 property of
refMotor
.
var refMotor = (MotorType)LogicObject.GetAlias("Motor");
var myMotorSpeed = refMotor.Speed;
