Function IsPrefix( _

) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As _BrowsePath
Dim prefix As Object
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.IsPrefix(prefix)

bool IsPrefix( 
   object prefix
)

bool IsPrefix( 
   Object^ prefix
) 

Parameters

prefix

The browse path to be tested as a prefix.

Because the OpcLabs.BaseLib.Navigation.BrowsePath has an implicit conversion from System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (containing an absolute browse path to be parsed) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding browse path object will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the FromString static method instead. CAUTION: Parsing the browse path can throw OpcLabs.BaseLib.Navigation.Parsing.BrowsePathFormatException.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

This method is pure, i.e. it does not have observable side effects.
