Parameters

browseArgumentsArray
Array of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UABrowseArguments. Specifies which nodes to browse in an OPC-UA server, and the browse parameters to be used.

Return Value

Array of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UANodeElementCollectionResult. Returns an array of results. Each result, when successful, stores the node element collection that is the outcome of the browse. The indices of elements in the output array are the same as those in the input array, browseArgumentsArray.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

Remarks

 

This is a multiple-operation method. In a properly written program, it does not throw any exceptions. You should therefore not put try/catch statements or similar constructs around calls to this method. The only exceptions thrown by this method are for usage errors, i.e. when your code violates the usage contract of the method, such as passing in invalid arguments or calling the method when the state of the object does not allow it. Any operation-related errors (i.e. errors that depend on external conditions that your code cannot reliably check) are indicated in the result objects returned by the method. For more information, see Multiple-operation Methods and Do not catch any exceptions with asynchronous or multiple-operation methods.
