This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use `FolderItem.IsAlias` as a replacement.
## Description
Returns `True` if the item is an Alias.
## Notes
In most cases, a FolderItem is going to resolve the Alias to point to the actual file. If you need the actual Alias itself, then you should use `FolderItem.ChildAt`, `FolderItem.Child` or `FolderItem(f as FolderItem)`.
## Sample code
``` xojo
Dim f As New FolderItem
If f.Alias Then
MsgBox("The folderitem is an alias.")
Else
MsgBox("The folderitem is not an alias.")
End If
```
## Compatibility
All project types on all supported operating systems.
