SessionId Property (EasyUAClientSessionConnectionEventArgs)
Example 



OpcLabs.ServerOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel Namespace > EasyUAClientSessionConnectionEventArgs Class : SessionId Property
The OPC UA session Id.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Public Property SessionId As UANodeId
'Usage
 
Dim instance As EasyUAClientSessionConnectionEventArgs
Dim value As UANodeId
 
instance.SessionId = value
 
value = instance.SessionId
[NotNull()]
public UANodeId SessionId {get; set;}
[NotNull()]
public:
property UANodeId^ SessionId {
   UANodeId^ get();
   void set (    UANodeId^ value);
}

Property Value

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

Because there is an implicit conversion from OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId to OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the returned OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId in any place where the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor is expected as input, and the corresponding node descriptor will be constructed automatically.

Also, because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId has an implicit conversion to System.String, and it converts to the expanded text of the node Id (OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId.ExpandedText), in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the returned OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId in any place where expanded text of a node Id (a string) is expected as input, and the corresponding expanded text will be taken automatically from the node Id.

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

A session ID is a unique identifier (an OPC UA Node Id) assigned to a session by the server when a client establishes a connection with an OPC UA server. The session ID is used to manage and track the session throughout its lifecycle, ensuring that the server can correctly associate requests and responses with the appropriate session.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId has an implicit conversion from System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the expanded text of the nodeId) in place of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId value when setting this property, and the corresponding OPC UA node Id will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId.UANodeId Constructor(String) constructor instead.
