[Extension()]
public static ValueTuple<UANodeDescriptor,UANodeDescriptor> FindFileOrDirectory( 
   IEasyUAFileTransfer fileTransfer,
   UAEndpointDescriptor endpointDescriptor,
   UANodeDescriptor directoryNodeDescriptor,
   IReadOnlyList<string> directoryPathElements,
   string fileOrDirectoryName

[Extension()]
public:
static ValueTuple<UANodeDescriptor^,UANodeDescriptor^> FindFileOrDirectory( 
   IEasyUAFileTransfer^ fileTransfer,
   UAEndpointDescriptor^ endpointDescriptor,
   UANodeDescriptor^ directoryNodeDescriptor,
   IReadOnlyList<String^>^ directoryPathElements,
   String^ fileOrDirectoryName
)

Parameters

fileTransfer: The OPC UA file transfer object that will perform the operation.
endpointDescriptor: Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.
directoryNodeDescriptor: Node descriptor of the OPC UA directory.
directoryPathElements: A path consisting of names of subdirectories starting from directoryNodeDescriptor forwards.
fileOrDirectoryName: Name of the file or directory to be found.

Return Value

Returns a tuple consisting of a node descriptor of the parent directory, and a node descriptor of the file or directory object. The node descriptor of the file or directory object is non-null, if the file or directory was found; it is null otherwise.

Exceptions

Exception Description

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	A `null` reference (`Nothing` in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument. This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.
OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAException	The OPC UA operation has failed. This operation exception in uniformly used to allow common handling of various kinds of errors. The System.Exception.InnerException always contains information about the actual error cause. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.
