OPC Studio User's Guide and Reference
Create(ServerDescriptor,AESubscriptionParameters,Boolean,Object) Method



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassic Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.AlarmsAndEvents.Reactive Namespace > AENotificationObservable Class > Create Method : Create(ServerDescriptor,AESubscriptionParameters,Boolean,Object) Method
The OPC server involved in the operation.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.Guid, System.String and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.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 OpcLabs.EasyOpc.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 OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor.FromGuid, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor.FromString or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor.FromServerElement static method instead.

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

Subscription parameters to be used when the subscription is created

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

When set, the subscription will automatically perform a Refresh after each successful connection to the server (either the initial connection, or any automatic reconnection after the connection is lost).
The state object (can be any value supplied by your code); available in event notifications.

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

Creates a new notification observable for OPC events given by the server descriptor and subscription parameters objects, and other parameters.

Parameters

serverDescriptor
The OPC server involved in the operation.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.Guid, System.String and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.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 OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerElement object (result from OPC browsing), in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC server descriptor will be constructed automatically.

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

subscriptionParameters
Subscription parameters to be used when the subscription is created

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

refreshWhenActive
When set, the subscription will automatically perform a Refresh after each successful connection to the server (either the initial connection, or any automatic reconnection after the connection is lost).
state
The state object (can be any value supplied by your code); available in event notifications.

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

Return Value

Returns an observable for notifications about given OPC events.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks
The AEReactive.DefaultClientSelector selector will be used for OPC Alarms&Events operations.
