Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Discovers available OPC-UA applications and returns information about them, using the specified discovery host, and filtering by specified application types.

This method uses the so-called Local Discovery Server (LDS). You can influence how the discovery works using the properties in static EasyUAClientCore.SharedParameters.

Invokes the FindServers service.

Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Reads attribute data from an OPC server. Value, status code, and timestamps are returned.
Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Reads a value of DataType attribute of a node.If successful, the method returns the actual value of OPC attribute requested.

This method also checks whether the returned value is not a reference, and is indeed of the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId type. The returned value is therefore always a valid OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId.

Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Reads a value of DisplayName attribute of a node.If successful, the method returns the actual value of OPC attribute requested.

Unsubscribe from monitored item, specifying its handle.

Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Subscribes to the specified nodes&attributes, and monitors their data until the predicates specified for each item become true, or the alloted time elapses.
Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Subscribes to the specified OPC-UA nodes&attributes, and monitors their data until they have at most the status severity specified for each item, an error occurs, or the alloted time elapses.
Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Subscribes to the specified node&attribute, and monitors its data until it has "good" status severity, an error occurs, or the alloted time elapses.
