NodeId Property (UANodeElement)



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace Namespace > UANodeElement Class : NodeId Property
Node Id of this node.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property NodeId As UANodeId
'Usage
 
Dim instance As UANodeElement
Dim value As UANodeId
 
instance.NodeId = value
 
value = instance.NodeId
public UANodeId NodeId {get; set;}
public:
property UANodeId^ NodeId {
   UANodeId^ get();
   void set (    UANodeId^ value);
}

Property Value

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

The default value of this property is UANodeId.Null.

Because there is an implicit conversion from UANodeId to OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the returned UANodeId in any place where the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor is expected as input, and the corresponding node descriptor will be constructed automatically.

Also, because the UANodeId has an implicit conversion to System.String, and it converts to the expanded text of the node Id (UANodeId.ExpandedText), in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the returned UANodeId in any place where expanded text of a node Id (a string) is expected as input, and the corresponding expanded text will be taken automatically from the node Id.

Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

Remarks

Because the UANodeId has an implicit conversion from System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the expanded text of the nodeId) in place of UANodeId value when setting this property, and the corresponding OPC UA node Id will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the UANodeId.UANodeId Constructor(String) constructor instead.

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