OPC UA .NET Client - Get OPCUA Node ID using browse path

Question

I'm working with the OPC Foundation's .NET Standard stack and need to get a node ID using its browse path. With the Python FreeOPCUA implementation I've been using, it is easily done like this:

obj = root.get_child(["0:Objects", "2:MyObject"])

I'm just looking for the equivalent of that and haven't found a set of documentation that's been helpful so far. I can browse the entire root node using code from one of the sample applications. I want to avoid that overhead since I know exactly where the node I'm looking for is located and just need its ID.

Answer 1

You're looking for the TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds service.

It looks like there's an example of how to call it in the ClientUtils class in one of the examples here.
