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.

Example
// This example shows how to subscribe to dataset messages with RawData field encoding, specifying the metadata necessary
// for their decoding directly in the code.
//
// In order to produce network messages for this example, run the UADemoPublisher tool. For documentation, see
// https://kb.opclabs.com/UADemoPublisher_Basics . In some cases, you may have to specify the interface name to be used.
