public AFNamedCollectionList<AFBaseElement> GetConnectedElements(
	AFBaseElement element,
	string portName
)

Public Function GetConnectedElements ( 
	element As AFBaseElement,
	portName As String
) As AFNamedCollectionList(Of AFBaseElement)

Dim instance As AFCase
Dim element As AFBaseElement
Dim portName As String
Dim returnValue As AFNamedCollectionList(Of AFBaseElement)

returnValue = instance.GetConnectedElements(element, 
	portName)

public:
AFNamedCollectionList<AFBaseElement^>^ GetConnectedElements(
	AFBaseElement^ element, 
	String^ portName
)

member GetConnectedElements : 
        element : AFBaseElement * 
        portName : string -> AFNamedCollectionList<AFBaseElement>

Parameters

element: Type: OSIsoft.AF.AssetAFBaseElement
The element associated with the connected elements being returned. It could be either a source or destination of the connection.
portName: Type: SystemString
The port name of the specified element to which the desired elements are connected through.

Return Value

Type: AFNamedCollectionListAFBaseElement
Returns the collection of connected elements.

Remarks

This is a subset of the collection indirectly returned by the Connections property and the GetConnectedElements(AFBaseElement) method. This method does not return elements connected between a child element and another element in the model. The specified element must be active for the case.
