Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
<PureAttribute()>
Function Flatten() As UABrowsePath

'Usage
 
Dim instance As _UABrowsePath

[NotNull()]
[Pure()]
UABrowsePath Flatten()

[NotNull()]
[Pure()]
UABrowsePath^ Flatten();

Return Value

Returns an equivalent browse path whose starting node descriptor has a node Id, if possible.

Because there is an implicit conversion from OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UABrowsePath to OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the returned OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UABrowsePath in any place where the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor is expected as input, and the corresponding node descriptor will be constructed automatically.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

This method is pure, i.e. it does not have observable side effects.
