Implicit Type Conversion(String,UAQualifiedName) Operator



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace Namespace > UAQualifiedName Class > Implicit Type Conversion Operator : Implicit Type Conversion(String,UAQualifiedName) Operator
The qualified name to be converted.

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).

Converts a qualified name to a string.
