<NotNullAttribute()>
Public Property ItemDescriptor As DAItemDescriptor
'Usage
 
Dim instance As DAItemPoint
Dim value As DAItemDescriptor
 
instance.ItemDescriptor = value
 
value = instance.ItemDescriptor
[NotNull()]
public DAItemDescriptor ItemDescriptor {get; set;}

property DAItemDescriptor^ ItemDescriptor {
   DAItemDescriptor^ get();
   void set (    DAItemDescriptor^ value);
}

Property Value

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

Remarks

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAItemDescriptor 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 OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAItemDescriptor value when setting this property, and the corresponding OPC DA item descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAItemDescriptor.FromString or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAItemDescriptor.FromDANodeElement static method instead.

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET Framework: Windows 10 (selected versions), Windows 11 (selected versions), Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2022; .NET: Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows
