The client object that will perform the operation.
Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.
Node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.
Array of UAAttributeId. Array of attribute IDs specifying what to read from an OPC-UA server.
Reads values of multiple attributes. Reads multiple attributes of the same node, using array of attribute IDs as an input.

'Usage
 
Dim client As IEasyUAClient
Dim endpointDescriptor As UAEndpointDescriptor
Dim nodeDescriptor As UANodeDescriptor
Dim attributeIdArray() As UAAttributeId
Dim value() As UAAttributeDataResult
 
value = IEasyUAClientExtension.ReadMultiple(client, endpointDescriptor, nodeDescriptor, attributeIdArray)

Parameters

client
The client object that will perform the operation.
endpointDescriptor
Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.
nodeDescriptor
Node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.
attributeIdArray
Array of UAAttributeId. Array of attribute IDs specifying what to read from an OPC-UA server.

Return Value

Array of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAAttributeDataResult. Returns an array of attribute data objects. Each object stores the value of an attribute, together with status code and timestamps. The indices of elements in the output array are the same as those in the input array, attributeIdArray.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

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.

Remarks
The size of the input array will become the size of the output array. The element positions (indices) in the output array are the same as in the input array.

 

This is a multiple-operation method. In a properly written program, it 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 in the result objects returned by the method. For more information, see Multiple-operation Methods and Do not catch any exceptions with asynchronous or multiple-operation methods.
