Syntax

public AFNamedCollectionList<AFBaseElement> GetConnectedElements(
	AFBaseElement element,
	AFPortType portType
)

Public Function GetConnectedElements ( 
	element As AFBaseElement,
	portType As AFPortType
) As AFNamedCollectionList(Of AFBaseElement)

Dim instance As AFCase
Dim element As AFBaseElement
Dim portType As AFPortType
Dim returnValue As AFNamedCollectionList(Of AFBaseElement)

returnValue = instance.GetConnectedElements(element, 
	portType)

public:
AFNamedCollectionList<AFBaseElement^>^ GetConnectedElements(
	AFBaseElement^ element, 
	AFPortType portType
)

member GetConnectedElements : 
        element : AFBaseElement * 
        portType : AFPortType -> AFNamedCollectionList<AFBaseElement>

Parameters

element: Type: OSIsoft.AF.AssetAFBaseElement
The element associated with the connected elements being returned. It (or one of its child elements) could be either a source or destination of the connection. Only child elements with a direct ownership through the Parent property will be checked.
portType: Type: OSIsoft.AF.ModelingAFPortType
The port type of the specified element (or one of its child elements) to which the desired elements are connected through.

Return Value

Type: AFNamedCollectionListAFBaseElement
Returns the collection of connected elements.

Remarks

The returned collection contains all the elements that are connected to the specified element or one of its child elements through a port of the specified type within the model. This is a subset of the collection returned by the GetConnectedElements(AFBaseElement) method. The specified element must be active for the case.
