UnsubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems Method (IEasyUAClient)

Unsubscribe from changes of multiple monitored items, specifying an "enumerable" of integer handles.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Sub UnsubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems( _
   ByVal handlesToUnsubscribe As IEnumerable(Of Integer) _
)

'Usage
 
Dim instance As IEasyUAClient
Dim handlesToUnsubscribe As IEnumerable(Of Integer)
 
instance.UnsubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems(handlesToUnsubscribe)

void UnsubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems( 
   IEnumerable<int> handlesToUnsubscribe
)

void UnsubscribeMultipleMonitoredItems( 
   IEnumerable<int>^ handlesToUnsubscribe
)

Parameters

handlesToUnsubscribe: Array of subscription handles
The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

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.ObjectDisposedException	An operation was performed on a disposed object.

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.ObjectDisposedException An operation was performed on a disposed object.

Remarks

This method allows for batch operations on unsubscribing monitored items, potentially improving performance and efficiency when managing large numbers of subscriptions.

This method operates (at least in part) asynchronously, with respect to the caller. The actual execution of the operation may be delayed, and the outcome of the operation (if any) is provided to the calling code using an event notification, callback, or other means explained in the text. In a properly written program, this method does not throw any exceptions. You should therefore not put try/catch statements or similar constructs around calls to this method. The only exceptions thrown by this method are for usage errors, i.e. when your code violates the usage contract of the method, such as passing in invalid arguments or calling the method when the state of the object does not allow it. Any operation-related errors (i.e. errors that depend on external conditions that your code cannot reliably check) are indicated by the means the operation returns its outcome (if any), which is described in the text. For more information, see Do not catch any exceptions with asynchronous or multiple-operation methods.
