ReadWrite Method



OpcLabs.ServerOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.NodeSpace Namespace > UADataVariableExtension Class : ReadWrite Method
Modifies the data variable to behave as read-write register, with specified initial attribute data (value, status code, timestamp).

This method makes the data variable both readable and writable. The data written to the data variable will become the data subsequently read from the data variable.

This method also makes the status code and source timestamp of the data variable writable, i.e. OPC UA clients will be able to modify their values. If you need a different behavior, call the Writable(UADataVariable,Boolean,Boolean,Boolean) method subsequently, with desired parameters, or modify the UADataVariable.WritableStatusCode and/or UADataVariable.WritableSourceTimestamp accordingly (set one or both to false).

In order to make a read-write register of certain type, but without having to specify initial data, consider simply using one of the ValueType(UADataVariable,Type) overloads.
