Example 



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.PubSub Namespace > UADataSetWriterDescriptor Class > Implicit Type Conversion Operator : Implicit Type Conversion(UADataSetWriterDescriptor,Int32) Operator
The dataset writer Id.

Valid values of this parameter are in the range from 0 to 65535.

Converts a dataset writer Id into a dataset writer descriptor.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
<CanBeNullAttribute()>
Overloads Public Operator Widening CType( _
