Isolated Property (_EasyDAClient)

Specifies that you wish that the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClientCore object instance works with an "isolated" connection to the OPC server, i.e. one that is not shared with other instances.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Property Isolated As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As _EasyDAClient
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.Isolated = value
 
value = instance.Isolated

bool Isolated {get; set;}

   bool get();
   void set (    bool value);
}
