'Usage
Dim instance As UADataVariableReadEventArgs Dim value As Object instance.HandleAndReturn(value)
Parameters
- value
- The value that is the result of the OPC read.
The value of this parameter can be
null
(Nothing
in Visual Basic).
The value of this parameter can be null
(Nothing

'Usage
Dim instance As UADataVariableReadEventArgs Dim value As Object instance.HandleAndReturn(value)
The value of this parameter can be null
(Nothing
in Visual Basic).
Marks the event as handled and sets the specified value as the result of the event handling.
Calling this method indicates that the event has been fully processed and no further action is required. The specified value will be used as the outcome of the event handling, providing the attribute data that will result from the read operation.
This is a convenience method that creates the attribute data argument and then calls HandleAndReturn(UAAttributeData). The status code will be "Good", and the current time is used as the source timestamp.
This method or property does not throw any exceptions, aside from execution exceptions such as System.Threading.ThreadAbortException or System.OutOfMemoryException.
