## Properties

### Attribute

Gets the attribute the operand refers to.

<div class="api-signature" data-lang="csharp">

```csharp
public OpcAttribute Attribute { get; }

</div>

<div class="api-signature" data-lang="vbnet">

```vbnet
Public ReadOnly Property Attribute As OpcAttribute
```

</div>

**Property value**

[OpcAttribute](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.opcattribute/)

The attribute of the node; [Value](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.opcattribute/#value) if no attribute has been specified.

### NodeId

Gets the identifier of the type definition the operand starts from.

<div class="api-signature" data-lang="csharp">

```csharp
public OpcNodeId NodeId { get; }
```

</div>

<div class="api-signature" data-lang="vbnet">

```vbnet
Public ReadOnly Property NodeId As OpcNodeId
```

</div>

**Property value**

[OpcNodeId](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.opcnodeid/)

The identifier of the type definition.

**Remarks**

Despite its name, the property provides the type definition of the operand, not the identifier of a node instance.

### NodePath

Gets the path of browse names from the type definition to the node whose attribute the operand refers to.

<div class="api-signature" data-lang="csharp">

```csharp
public OpcNamePath NodePath { get; }
```

</div>

<div class="api-signature" data-lang="vbnet">

```

</div>

**Property value**

[OpcNamePath](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.opcnamepath/)

The path or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the operand has been created without a path.
