RefreshTrustLists Method (EasyUAApplicationCore)
Example 



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Application Namespace > EasyUAApplicationCore Class : RefreshTrustLists Method
The GDS endpoint acting as OPC UA certificate manager (CM).
Determines whether the application registration in the GDS will be updated first.
Retrieves the current trust lists for the application from the certificate manager, and refreshes own certificate stores accordingly.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function RefreshTrustLists( _
   ByVal gdsEndpointDescriptor As UAEndpointDescriptor, _
   ByVal updateGdsRegistration As Boolean _
) As UATrustListMasks
'Usage
 

Dim instance As EasyUAApplicationCore
Dim gdsEndpointDescriptor As UAEndpointDescriptor
Dim updateGdsRegistration As Boolean
Dim value As UATrustListMasks
 
value = instance.RefreshTrustLists(gdsEndpointDescriptor, updateGdsRegistration)
public UATrustListMasks RefreshTrustLists( 
   UAEndpointDescriptor gdsEndpointDescriptor,
   bool updateGdsRegistration
)
public:
UATrustListMasks RefreshTrustLists( 
   UAEndpointDescriptor^ gdsEndpointDescriptor,
   bool updateGdsRegistration
)

Parameters

gdsEndpointDescriptor
The GDS endpoint acting as OPC UA certificate manager (CM).
updateGdsRegistration
Determines whether the application registration in the GDS will be updated first.

Return Value

Returns a bit mask indicating which trust lists have been refreshed.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
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.

OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAException

The OPC UA operation has failed. This operation exception in uniformly used to allow common handling of various kinds of errors. The System.Exception.InnerException always contains information about the actual error cause.

This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.

Remarks

If updateGdsRegistration is true, the operation first updates the application's registration in the GDS. It then retrieves the trust lists from the certificate manager and adds them to the certificate stores.
