Isolated Property (_EasyUAClient)

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

Syntax

bool Isolated {get; set;}

property bool Isolated {
   bool get();
   void set (    bool value);
}

'Declaration
 
Property Isolated As Boolean

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

Property Value

The default value of this property is False.

Remarks

The getter method of this property is pure, i.e. it does not have observable side effects.

This member or type is for use from COM. It is not meant to be used from .NET or Python. Refer to the corresponding .NET member or type instead, if you are developing in .NET or Python.

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

Example

// This example shows how to create and use two isolated client objects, resulting in two separate connections to the target
// OPC UA server.
