Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Changes parameters of a data change subscription. Specify the handle, a new sampling interval and absolute deadband value.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Changes parameters of a subscription to a particular monitored item.

It is more efficient to change multiple subscriptions using MultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions method.

 
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Changes parameters of multiple data change subscriptions. Specify the handles, a new sampling interval and absolute deadband value.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Changes parameters of multiple subscriptions. Specify the handles, and a new sampling interval.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Globally discovers OPC-UA applications that meet the specified filters and returns information about them, using the specified GDS endpoint.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Globally discovers OPC-UA servers and returns information about them, using the specified GDS endpoint, and an empty filter.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Discovers available OPC-UA applications and returns information about them, using the specified discovery host, and filtering by specified application types.

This method uses the so-called Local Discovery Server (LDS). You can influence how the discovery works using the properties in static EasyUAClientCore.SharedParameters.

Invokes the FindServers service.

Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Discovers available endpoints for a given server discovery URL.

The query is performed using a GetEndpoints service of an OPC server specified by its discovery endpoint.

Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Discovers available OPC-UA servers on the network and returns information about them.

This method uses the so-called Local Discovery Server with Multicast Extensions (LDS-NE). You can influence how the discovery works using the properties in EasyUAClientCore.SharedParameters.

Invokes the FindServersOnNetwork service.

Public Method (Inherited from object)
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Discovers available OPC-UA applications and returns information about them, using the specified discovery URI strings and filtering by specified application types.

This method uses the discovery services on specified discovery endpoints.

Invokes the FindServers service.

The discovery may be attempted in parallel on the specified endpoints, depending on component settings.

Public MethodServes as the default hash function. (Inherited from object)
Public MethodGets the System.Type of the current instance. (Inherited from object)
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Attempts to pull an OPC data change notification subscribed to by the SubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems or SubscribeDataChange method.

Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Reads values of multiple attributes.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Reads an attribute from an OPC server. Only the attribute's value is returned (status code and timestamps are not returned).The status code must be 'good' for this method to succeed; otherwise, a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAException is thrown.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Subscribe to a data change. Specify an endpoint descriptor, node id, and sampling interval.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Subscribe to an event. Specify an endpoint descriptor, node id, and sampling interval.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Subscribe to changes of a particular monitored item. For each significant monitored item change, either the IEasyUAClient.DataChangeNotification event is generated, or a specified callback method is invoked.

It is more efficient to subscribe to multiple monitored items using SubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems method.

Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Subscribe to changes of multiple OPC monitored items. The IEasyUAClient.DataChangeNotification or IEasyUAClient.EventNotification event will be generated for each significant item change.  
Public MethodReturns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from object)
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Unsubscribe from changes of a particular monitored item.

Unsubscribe from monitored item, specifying its handle.

 
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Writes into an attribute in an OPC server. Value, status code and timestamps are written.  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Writes values into multiple attributes, using array of argument objects as an input (status codes and timestamps are not written).  
Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Writes a value into an attribute an OPC server. Only the item value is written (status code and timestamps are not written).
