UACallArguments Constructor(UANodeArguments,UANodeDescriptor,Object[])



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel Namespace > UACallArguments Class > UACallArguments Constructor : UACallArguments Constructor(UANodeArguments,UANodeDescriptor,Object[])
An object that specifies the node in the OPC server.

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

Method Node Id. Identifies the method node in OPC server's address space.

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 this parameter, 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.

If you are using OPC Wizard (for server development), an implicit conversion from OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.NodeSpace.UAServerNode can be used in the same way to simply pass the server node in place of this parameter, which will use its OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.NodeSpace.UAServerNode.EffectiveNodeDescriptor property for the operation.

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

Array of input arguments to the method call. The number of arguments and their types must conform to the method's requirements.

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

The individual elements of the parameter value can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Initializes a new instance of the class, specifying the node arguments, method node descriptor, and input arguments.

Parameters

nodeArguments
An object that specifies the node in the OPC server.

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

methodNodeDescriptor
Method Node Id. Identifies the method node in OPC server's address space.

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 this parameter, and the corresponding node descriptor will be constructed automatically.

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

inputArguments
Array of input arguments to the method call. The number of arguments and their types must conform to the method's requirements.

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

The individual elements of the parameter value can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

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.

Requirements

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