'Declaration
 
<CanBeNullAttribute()>
Function FindWriterGroupElement( _
   ByVal pubSubConnectionName As String, _
   ByVal writerGroupName As String _
) As UAWriterGroupElement

'Usage
 
Dim instance As _UAReadOnlyPubSubConfiguration
Dim pubSubConnectionName As String
Dim writerGroupName As String
Dim value As UAWriterGroupElement
 
value = instance.FindWriterGroupElement(pubSubConnectionName, writerGroupName)

[CanBeNull()]
UAWriterGroupElement FindWriterGroupElement( 
   string pubSubConnectionName,
   string writerGroupName
)

[CanBeNull()]
UAWriterGroupElement^ FindWriterGroupElement( 
   String^ pubSubConnectionName,
   String^ writerGroupName
)

Parameters

pubSubConnectionName: The name of the PubSub connection.
The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).
writerGroupName: The name of the writer group.
The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.PubSub.Configuration.UAWriterGroupElement has an implicit conversion to OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.PubSub.UAWriterGroupDescriptor, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the returned OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.PubSub.Configuration.UAWriterGroupElement (from PubSub configuration) in any place where OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.PubSub.UAWriterGroupDescriptor is expected as input, and the corresponding OPC UA PubSub writer group descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can convert a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.PubSub.Configuration.UAWriterGroupElement to OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.PubSub.UAWriterGroupDescriptor using the ToUAWriterGroupDescriptor static method instead.

Returns the writer group element, if found; returns null otherwise.

This method can return null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.Exception	An error has occurred during application execution.
System.ArgumentNullException	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.
OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAException	The OPC UA operation has failed. This operation exception in uniformly used to allow common handling of various kinds of errors. The System.Exception.InnerException always contains information about the actual error cause. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.
OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UALogicalException	There is a logical error in the OPC UA operation. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.
