Property Value

This value of this property can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The default value of this property is null.

Because there are implicit conversions to OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UANamedNodeDescriptor and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UANamedNodePath from 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.UANodeDescriptor in any place where OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UANamedNodeDescriptor is expected (in this case the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor contains the final node descriptor) or where OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UANamedNodePath is expected (in this case the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor contains the base and only node in the named node path), and the corresponding OPC UA named node descriptor or named node path will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UANamedNodeDescriptor.FromUANodeDescriptor or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UANamedNodePath.FromUANodeDescriptor static method instead.

Remarks

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor has implicit conversions from OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeElement, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UABrowsePath and System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId object (representing the Id of the OPC UA node), a node element object (from OPC UA browsing), OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UABrowsePath object (representing OPC UA absolute browse path), or a string (with expanded node Id text) in place of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor value when setting this property, and the corresponding node descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor.FromString, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor.FromUABrowsePath, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor.FromUANodeElement or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor.FromUANodeId static method instead.
