SubscribeMultipleItems Method (

Subscribe to changes of multiple OPC items. The OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.IEasyDAClient.ItemChanged event will be generated for each significant item change. Callback methods will be invoked if they are specified in the argument objects.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
<JetBrains.Annotations.ItemNotNullAttribute()>

Function SubscribeMultipleItems( _
   ByVal itemSubscriptionArgumentsArray As Object _
) As Object()

'Usage
 
Dim instance As _EasyDAClient
Dim itemSubscriptionArgumentsArray As Object
Dim value() As Object
 
value = instance.SubscribeMultipleItems(itemSubscriptionArgumentsArray)

[JetBrains.Annotations.ItemNotNull()]

)

Parameters

itemSubscriptionArgumentsArray

Array of arguments, one element per each OPC item involved in the operation.

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

The individual elements of the parameter value cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

The function returns an array of integer handles. Each such handle uniquely identifies the item subscription. The indices of elements in the output array are the same as those in the input array, .

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

The individual elements of the returned value are never null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

This return value of this method should not be ignored.

Exceptions

Exception Description

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	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.
System.ObjectDisposedException	An operation was performed on a disposed object.

System.ArgumentNullException

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.

System.ObjectDisposedException An operation was performed on a disposed object.

Remarks

The size of the input array will become the size of the output array. The element positions (indices) in the output array are the same as in the input array.

// "Be careful how you use this feature; if you are doing something similar to the example below, then it doesn't really make 
// sense to run it in a web server context.". What they are trying to say is that processing a web request should be 
// a short-lived code, which does not fit well with the idea of being subscribed to events and received them over longer time. 
// It is possible to write such code, but it is only useful when processing the request is allowed to take relatively long. Or, 
// when you are using PHP from command-line, or otherwise - not to serve a web page directly.
// 
// Subscribing to QuickOPC-COM events in the context of PHP Web application, while not imposing the limitations to the request 
// processing time, has to be "worked around", e.g. using the "event pull" mechanism.
