WriteValueAction<TValue>(SparkplugMetric,SparkplugDataType,Action<TValue>) Method



OpcLabs.EasySparkplug Assembly > OpcLabs.EasySparkplug Namespace > SparkplugMetricExtension Class > WriteValueAction Method : WriteValueAction<TValue>(SparkplugMetric,SparkplugDataType,Action<TValue>) Method
The type of the value of the Sparkplug metric.
The Sparkplug metric that will perform the operation.

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

The Sparkplug data type of the metric.
The write value action, i.e. the action that accepts the value to be written and performs the write operation.

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

Makes a metric that consumes the Sparkplug data using the write value action. Specify the Sparkplug data type.

Parameters

metric
The Sparkplug metric that will perform the operation.

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

dataType
The Sparkplug data type of the metric.
writeValueAction
The write value action, i.e. the action that accepts the value to be written and performs the write operation.

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

Type Parameters

TValue
The type of the value of the Sparkplug metric.

Return Value

Returns the metric, internally modified as defined by the method.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

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 an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.
