Examples - Server OPC UA - Obtain effective node descriptors of server nodes

.NET

// This example shows how to obtain the effective node descriptors of server nodes (i.e. their node IDs and browse paths).
// You can use any OPC UA client, including our Connectivity Explorer and OpcCmd utility, to connect to the server.
