Isolated Property (EasyUAClientCore)

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

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Property Isolated As Boolean

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

public bool Isolated {get; set;}

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

Property Value

The default value of this property is False.

Remarks

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

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

Example

CSharp
VB.NET
Python
