Example 



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.PubSub Namespace > IEasyUASubscriberExtension Class > SubscribeDataSet Method : SubscribeDataSet(IEasyUASubscriber,UAPubSubResolverDescriptor,String,EasyUADataSetMessageEventHandler) Method
The subscriber object that will perform the operation.

This is typically the EasyUASubscriber object.

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

Describes how the PubSub logical information should be resolved to physical.

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

Name of the published dataset.

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

A callback method to be invoked for each dataset message received.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Subscribes to a logical dataset, using a PubSub resolver descriptor, published dataset name, and an optional callback.

Parameters

subscriber
The subscriber object that will perform the operation.

This is typically the EasyUASubscriber object.

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

pubSubResolverDescriptor
Describes how the PubSub logical information should be resolved to physical.

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

publishedDataSetName
Name of the published dataset.

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

callback
A callback method to be invoked for each dataset message received.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

Returns a dataset subscription handle that can be used to change the subscription, obtain its arguments, or unsubscribe.
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.

Remarks

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.

 

This method operates (at least in part) asynchronously, with respect to the caller. The actual execution of the operation may be delayed, and the outcome of the operation (if any) is provided to the calling code using an event notification, callback, or other means explained in the text. In a properly written program, this method does not throw any exceptions. You should therefore not put try/catch statements or similar constructs around calls to this method. The only exceptions thrown by this method are for usage errors, i.e. when your code violates the usage contract of the method, such as passing in invalid arguments or calling the method when the state of the object does not allow it. Any operation-related errors (i.e. errors that depend on external conditions that your code cannot reliably check) are indicated by the means the operation returns its outcome (if any), which is described in the text. For more information, see Do not catch any exceptions with asynchronous or multiple-operation methods.

# This example shows how to subscribe to dataset messages, specifying just the published dataset name, and resolving all
# the dataset subscription arguments from an OPC-UA PubSub configuration file.
#
# 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.
