Match(UAQualifiedName,UAQualifiedName) Method



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace Namespace > UAQualifiedName Class > Match Method : Match(UAQualifiedName,UAQualifiedName) Method
First object to be matched.

Because the UAQualifiedName has an implicit conversion from System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the expanded text of the qualified name) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC UA qualified name will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the UAQualifiedName Constructor(String) constructor instead.

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

Second object to be matched.

When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the UAQualifiedName Constructor(String) constructor instead.

Parameters

qualifiedName1
First object to be matched.

Because the UAQualifiedName has an implicit conversion from System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the expanded text of the qualified name) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC UA qualified name will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the UAQualifiedName Constructor(String) constructor instead.

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

qualifiedName2
Second object to be matched.

Because the UAQualifiedName has an implicit conversion from System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the expanded text of the qualified name) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC UA qualified name will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the UAQualifiedName Constructor(String) constructor instead.

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

Return Value

True if the objects are equal; false otherwise.
Remarks
For a match, names must equal, but namespaces must equal only if present in both qualified names.

This method or property does not throw any exceptions, aside from execution exceptions such as System.Threading.ThreadAbortException or System.OutOfMemoryException.
