DataTypeId Property (_UASimpleTypeDescription)



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.DataTypeSchema.ComTypes Namespace > _UASimpleTypeDescription Interface : DataTypeId Property
The Node ID of the data type.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Property DataTypeId As UANodeId
'Usage
 
Dim instance As _UASimpleTypeDescription
Dim value As UANodeId
 
instance.DataTypeId = value
 
value = instance.DataTypeId
[NotNull()]
UANodeId DataTypeId {get; set;}

property UANodeId^ DataTypeId {
   UANodeId^ get();
   void set (    UANodeId^ value);
}

Property Value

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

Because there is an implicit conversion from OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.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 OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.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 OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId has an implicit conversion to System.String, and it converts to the expanded text of the node Id (ExpandedText), in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the returned OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.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.

Remarks

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.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 OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.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 Constructor(String) constructor instead.

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.

Requirements

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