Changes parameters of multiple subscriptions. Specify the handles, and a new sampling interval.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
<ExtensionAttribute()>
Public Overloads Shared Sub ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions( _
   ByVal client As IEasyUAClient, _
   ByVal handleArray() As Integer, _
   ByVal samplingInterval As Integer _

'Usage
 
Dim client As IEasyUAClient
Dim handleArray() As Integer
Dim samplingInterval As Integer
 
IEasyUAClientExtension.ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions(client, handleArray, samplingInterval)

[Extension()]
public static void ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions( 
   IEasyUAClient client,
   int[] handleArray,
   int samplingInterval
)

[Extension()]
public:
static void ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions( 
   IEasyUAClient^ client,
   array<int>^ handleArray,
   int samplingInterval
)

Parameters

client

The client object that will perform the operation.

This is typically the EasyUAClient object.

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

handleArray

Array of subscription handles

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

samplingInterval

The sampling interval (in milliseconds) indicates the fastest rate at which the Server should sample its underlying source for data changes.

Exceptions

Exception Description

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentException	One of the arguments provided to a method is not valid. 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.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.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method. 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.ArgumentException

One of the arguments provided to a method is not valid.

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.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.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method.

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

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.
