ServerDescriptor Constructor(ServerDescriptor)

The server descriptor object to be copied from.

Because the ServerDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.Guid, System.String and ServerElement, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a GUID (representing the CLSID of the server), a string (representing the so-called OPC server descriptor string, such as a ProgID or the URL of the server), or a ServerElement object (result from OPC browsing), in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC server descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the FromGuid, FromString or FromServerElement static method instead.

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

Initializes a new copy of the ServerDescriptor object.
