FromInt64 Method (DAPropertyId)



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassicCore Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess Namespace > DAPropertyId Class : FromInt64 Method
Numerical property Id to be converted.
Converts a numerical property Id value to a DAPropertyId object.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Public Shared Function FromInt64( _
   ByVal value As Long _
) As DAPropertyId
'Usage
 
Dim value As Long
Dim value As DAPropertyId
 
value = DAPropertyId.FromInt64(value)
[NotNull()]
public static DAPropertyId FromInt64( 
   long value
)
[NotNull()]
public:
static DAPropertyId^ FromInt64( 
   int64 value
) 

Parameters

value
Numerical property Id to be converted.

Return Value

Returns a DAPropertyId converted from the input argument.

Because the DAPropertyId has an implicit conversion to System.Int64 and DAPropertyIds, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the return value in place of a System.Int64 (representing the numerical value of the property Id), or in place a DAPropertyIds enumeration value. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the ToInt64 or ToDAPropertyIds static method instead.

Also, because there is an implicit conversion from DAPropertyId to DAPropertyDescriptor, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the returned DAPropertyId in any place where DAPropertyDescriptor is expected as input, and the corresponding OPC DA property descriptor will be constructed automatically from the OPC DA property Id. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the FromDAPropertyId static method instead.

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

Remarks

In languages that support implicit conversions (such as C# or VB.NET), in many cases you do not have call this method explicitly. When indicated, a call to an available equivalent implicit conversion operator will be created by the compiler automatically.
