Implicit Type Conversion(Int64,AEEventType) Operator



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassicCore Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.AlarmsAndEvents Namespace > AEEventType Class > Implicit Type Conversion Operator : Implicit Type Conversion(Int64,AEEventType) Operator
An AEEventType object value to be converted.

Because the AEEventType has an implicit conversion from System.Int64 and AEEventTypes, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a long integer (representing the numerical value of the event types), or an element of the AEEventTypes enumeration (or a combination of AEEventTypes flags) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding event type specification will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the AEEventType Constructor(Int64) or AEEventType Constructor(AEEventTypes) constructor instead.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Converts an AEEventType object to a numerical bit-coded value.

Parameters

eventType
An AEEventType object value to be converted.

Because the AEEventType has an implicit conversion from System.Int64 and AEEventTypes, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a long integer (representing the numerical value of the event types), or an element of the AEEventTypes enumeration (or a combination of AEEventTypes flags) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding event type specification will be constructed automatically.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

Returns a bit-coded value converted from the input argument.
Remarks

This operator is equivalent to ToInt64.

This method or property does not throw any exceptions, aside from execution exceptions such as System.Threading.ThreadAbortException or System.OutOfMemoryException.

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET Framework: Windows 10 (selected versions), Windows 11 (selected versions), Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2022; .NET: Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows
