Namespace: OSIsoft.AF.Asset
Assembly: OSIsoft.AFSDK (in OSIsoft.AFSDK.dll) Version: 3.1.1.1182
Syntax
public string[] GetPaths()
Public Function GetPaths As String() Dim instance As AFElement Dim returnValue As String() returnValue = instance.GetPaths()
public: array<String^>^ GetPaths()
member GetPaths : unit -> string[]
Return Value
Type: StringReturns all the full paths to this AFElement.
Remarks
This method will return all the paths to the AFElement where the GetPath Overload method will return the single primary path.
When connected to a 2015 (2.7) or later server, all the paths are returned in one bulk call from the server. In older servers, this method could be an expensive operation because the paths have to be computed in the client and could require at least one call to the server for each parent if they were not previously loaded.
