ShouldSerializeUrl Method



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassicCore Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc Namespace > ServerDescriptor Class : ShouldSerializeUrl Method
Determines whether the Url property is equal to its default value.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Protected Shadows Function ShouldSerializeUrl() As Boolean
'Usage
 
Dim instance As ServerDescriptor
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.ShouldSerializeUrl()
protected new bool ShouldSerializeUrl()
protected:
new bool ShouldSerializeUrl(); 

Return Value

true if the property has changed from its default value; false otherwise.
Remarks

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

Despite its name, this method (commonly used in conjunction with the Reset<PropertyName> method) is not only used for serialization purposes. In essence, it determines whether the property currently has its default value, which also affects whether and how it is presented (displayed) in various contexts. See also Use Reset and ShouldSerialize to control a property (Windows Forms .NET) for more information.
