Property Value

The value represents an expanded text of an OPC UA node Id. The property value can be any string, but not all values make sense and will work when an operation using them is attempted. Example of node Id expanded texts are "nsu=http://test.org/UA/Data/;i=10853" or "ns=1;s=SomeNode".

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

The default value of this property is "" (String.Empty).
