Public Operator =( _
   ByVal left As DAItemDescriptor, _

'Usage
 

public bool operator ==( 
   DAItemDescriptor left,
   DAItemDescriptor right
)

public:
bool operator ==( 
   DAItemDescriptor^ left,
   DAItemDescriptor^ right
)

Parameters

left

First object to be compared.

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).
