Public Overloads Function Equals( _
   ByVal other As DAItemDescriptor _
) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DAItemDescriptor
Dim other As DAItemDescriptor
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.Equals(other)

public bool Equals( 
   DAItemDescriptor other
)

public:
bool Equals( 
   DAItemDescriptor^ other
) 

Parameters

other

The object to compare members to.

Because the DAItemDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.String and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the qualified name of the node), or a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement object (result from OPC browsing), in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC DA item descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the FromString or FromDANodeElement static method instead.

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

Return Value

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