Examples - Server OPC UA - Use an indexer to access server nodes by their name

.NET

// This example shows how sub-nodes of server nodes can be accessed by their node name using an indexer.
// You can use any OPC UA client, including our Connectivity Explorer and OpcCmd utility, to connect to the server.
