Parameters

client

The client object that will perform the operation.

serverDescriptor

Server descriptor. Identifies the OPC-DA server.

nodeDescriptor

Starting node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.

browseParameters

Contains filtering conditions for OPC Data Access node browsing.

nodeElementsTransformer

Transforms a sequence of child node elements before it is used for further browsing.

Return Value

If you want to enumerate through a sequence of the tree nodes, convert the result to a sequence using the OpcLabs.BaseLib.Graphs.Extensions.ITreeTraversableExtension.ToEnumerable<T> method.

The method automatically prevents recursion into nodes that have already been traversed.

The root position in a tree will correspond to the specified starting node. The OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.Graphs.DANodeTreePosition object for the root is special one, in that from its OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement properties, only its ItemId is filled in.

You can obtain nodeDescriptor e.g. by calling one of the browsing methods on OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.IEasyDAClient interface.
