FromString Method (UAEndpointDescriptor)



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA Namespace > UAEndpointDescriptor Class : FromString Method
The network address that the Client wishes to use to access the Server (a URL string of the resource).

The value represents an OPC UA endpoint descriptor string. Any string can be passed to this parameter (i.e. will not cause System.ArgumentException), but not all values make sense and will work when an operation using them is attempted. The OPC UA endpoint descriptor string is typically the URL of the server endpoint.

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

Converts a string to an endpoint descriptor.

Parameters

endpointDescriptorString
The network address that the Client wishes to use to access the Server (a URL string of the resource).

The value represents an OPC UA endpoint descriptor string. Any string can be passed to this parameter (i.e. will not cause System.ArgumentException), but not all values make sense and will work when an operation using them is attempted. The OPC UA endpoint descriptor string is typically the URL of the server endpoint.

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

Return Value

Returns an endpoint descriptor with the specified network address (endpoint URL).

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

A generic string is used instead of System.Uri, because in some cases, the value may not represent a real URI.

This method or property does not throw any exceptions, aside from execution exceptions such as System.Threading.ThreadAbortException or System.OutOfMemoryException.
