Parameters

client

The client object that will perform the operation.

This is typically the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient object.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

machineName

Name of the machine. Determines the computer on which the OPC server is located. It may be an empty string, in which case the OPC server is assumed to exist on the local computer or at the computer specified for it by DCOM configuration.

The value represents a UNC or DNS computer name. Any string can be passed to this parameter (i.e. will not cause System.ArgumentException), but not all values make sense and will work when an operation using them is attempted. IPv6 addresses are normally enclosed between '[' and ']'.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

serverClass

Contains ProgID of the OPC server to read from.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

itemId

Contains OPC item identifier.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

The server(s) can be local or can be remotely accessed via DCOM.

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.
