Property Value

A string that uniquely identifies the application instance. This identifier is intended to be globally unique.

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

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

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

The application URI is a critical element in OPC UA security, serving as a unique identifier for the application in security certificates and when establishing secure connections.

A generic string is used instead of System.Uri, because in some cases, the value may not represent a real URI.

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
