Exists Method



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUAPrimitives Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Security.Subject Namespace > UASecurityRoles Class : Exists Method
The node ID of the security role to check.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId 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 (representing the expanded text of the nodeId) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC UA node Id will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId.UANodeId Constructor(String) constructor instead.

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

Determines whether a security role with the specified role ID exists.

Parameters

roleId
The node ID of the security role to check.

Return Value

true if the security role exists; otherwise, false.
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.
