'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Public ReadOnly Default Property Item( _
   ByVal nodeName As String _
) As UAServerNode

'Usage
 
Dim instance As UAServerNode
Dim nodeName As String
Dim value As UAServerNode
 
value = instance.Item(nodeName)

[NotNull()]
public UAServerNode this[ 
   string nodeName
]; {get;}

[NotNull()]
public:
property UAServerNode^ default [String^] {
   UAServerNode^ get(String^ nodeName);
}

Parameters

nodeName: The name of the sub-node to retrieve.
