BrowseSources(IEasyAEClient,String,String,String) Method

Browses the specified area (or root) in OPC server's process area space, and returns information about child sources found. Browses the specified area for child sources. Uses computer name and server class for specifying the OPC server. A parent area is passed in. No filtering.

'Usage
 
Dim client As IEasyAEClient
Dim machineName As String
Dim serverClass As String
Dim parentQualifiedName As String
Dim value As AENodeElementCollection
 
value = IEasyAEClientExtension.BrowseSources(client, machineName, serverClass, parentQualifiedName)

)

[NotNull()]
public:
static AENodeElementCollection^ BrowseSources( 
   IEasyAEClient^ client,
   String^ machineName,
   String^ serverClass,
   String^ parentQualifiedName
)

Parameters

client: The client object that will perform the operation.
machineName: Name of the machine. Determines the computer on which the OPC server is located. May be an empty string, in which case the OPC server is assumed to exist on the local computer or at the computer specified for it by DCOM configuration.
serverClass: Contains ProgID of the OPC server.
parentQualifiedName: Fully qualified name of the parent area to be browsed (empty string for root)

Return Value

The method returns a keyed collection of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.AlarmsAndEvents.AddressSpace.AENodeElement values, each containing information about a particular source found. The keys of the keyed collection are the names of the sources.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
OpcLabs.EasyOpc.OperationModel.OpcException	The OPC "Classic" (or OPC XML-DA) operation has failed.
System.ArgumentNullException	A `null` reference (`Nothing` in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.
