GetItemPropertyRecord(IEasyDAClient,ServerDescriptor,DANodeDescriptor) Method

Obtains a DAItemPropertyRecord structure filled with OPC property values for a given OPC item. Obtains a structure filled with OPC property values of all well-known OPC properties for a given OPC item.

'Usage
 
Dim client As IEasyDAClient
Dim serverDescriptor As ServerDescriptor
Dim nodeDescriptor As DANodeDescriptor
Dim value As DAItemPropertyRecord
 
value = IEasyDAClientExtension2.GetItemPropertyRecord(client, serverDescriptor, nodeDescriptor)

[Extension()]
[NotNull()]

   IEasyDAClient client,
   ServerDescriptor serverDescriptor,
   DANodeDescriptor nodeDescriptor
)

[Extension()]
[NotNull()]
public:
static DAItemPropertyRecord^ GetItemPropertyRecord( 
   IEasyDAClient^ client,
   ServerDescriptor^ serverDescriptor,
   DANodeDescriptor^ nodeDescriptor
)

Parameters

client: The client object that will perform the operation.
serverDescriptor: The OPC server involved in the operation.
nodeDescriptor: The descriptor of the OPC node involved in the operation.

Return Value

Returns a structure containing the OPC property values requested.

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.

Remarks

This method allows you to obtain a structure filled in with property values for a given OPC item. It can retrieve all well-known properties at once, or you can pass in a set of property Ids that you are interested in. You can then simply use the properties in the resulting DAItemPropertyRecord structure, without further looking up the values in any way.

Using implicit conversions, you can pass an item ID in place of node descriptor.
