Property Value

An array of bytes representing the opaque identifier of the node. This identifier is unique within the namespace.

The value of this property cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

Opaque identifiers are used in situations where the identifier does not fit the standard numeric, string, or GUID formats. They are typically used for binary data that is unique to the namespace of the node.

The length of the opaque identifier is restricted to 4096 bytes to ensure efficient transmission and processing.

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

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET Framework: Windows 10 (selected versions), Windows 11 (selected versions), Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2022; .NET: Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows
