public:
AFAttribute^ Add(
	String^ path, 
	AFObject^ relativeFrom
)

member Add : 
        path : string * 
        relativeFrom : AFObject -> AFAttribute 

Parameters

path

Type: SystemString
A string containing a path name that is relative to the specified object, a fully qualified path, or a dynamic attribute path.

relativeFrom

Type: OSIsoft.AFAFObject
Specifies the object that the paths may be relative to. For dynamic attributes, this parameter must indicate an AFDatabase or the dynamic attribute will not be associated with an AFDatabase.

Return Value

A path to the AFAttribute can be obtained by calling one of the GetPath Overload methods.

This method is similar to the FindObject(String) method, but will only resolve object paths to an AFAttribute. When the path only indicates a path to an element, this routine will return the DefaultAttribute of that element. See Path Syntax for a complete description of the path syntax.

Notes to Callers
If the specified path is a dynamic PIPoint path, this method will validate that the PIPoint exists. The AFAttribute(AFDatabase, String) constructor with a path parameter will not validate that the PIPoint exists.

Notes to Callers
The ShowExcludedAttributes setting will determine if excluded attributes are returned when finding attributes by path.
