Parameters

client

The client object that will perform the operation.

This is typically the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient object.

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

serverDescriptor

The OPC server involved in the operation.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.Guid, System.String and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerElement, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a GUID (representing the CLSID of the server), a string (representing the so-called OPC server descriptor string, such as a ProgID or the URL of the server), or a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerElement object (result from OPC browsing), in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC server descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor.FromGuid, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor.FromString or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor.FromServerElement static method instead.

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

nodeDescriptor

The OPC item involved in the operation.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DANodeDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.String and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the qualified name of the node), or a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement object (result from OPC browsing), in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC DA node descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the FromString or FromDANodeElement static method instead.

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

readParameters

Read parameters, such as the data source or value age.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAReadParameters has an implicit conversion from System.Int32 and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DADataSource, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use an integer (representing the value age in milliseconds), or an element of the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DADataSource enumeration in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC DA read parameters object will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the DAReadParameters Constructor(Int32) or DAReadParameters Constructor(DADataSource) constructor instead.

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

Type Parameters

TValue

The type of item value.

Return Value

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.
