Parameters

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 can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

serverClass

Contains ProgID of the OPC server.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

parentQualifiedName

Fully qualified name of the parent area to be browsed (empty string for root)

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value
