SessionTimeoutDebug Property (_UAClientSessionParameters)

A session timeout used when a debugger is attached (in milliseconds).

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Property SessionTimeoutDebug As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As _UAClientSessionParameters
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.SessionTimeoutDebug = value
 
value = instance.SessionTimeoutDebug

int SessionTimeoutDebug {get; set;}

property int SessionTimeoutDebug {
   int get();
   void set (    int value);
}

Property Value

Valid values of this property are in the range from 1 to 2147483647 (Int32.MaxValue).

Unit of measurement is ms.

The default value of this property is 600000.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method. This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

Exception

Description

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

Remarks

This parameter controls the same behavior as the SessionTimeout parameter, but the component uses it when the program is being debugged in the debugger. The default value is quite long, significantly longer than that of the SessionTimeout parameter. This allows the developer to reasonably debug the OPC UA program using e.g. breakpoints. Without prolonging the session timeout, "pausing" the program in the debugger (which means that communication is stopped temporarily) would cause the OPC UA server to detect the session as "broken", resulting in a disconnection of the OPC UA communication. With the long session timeouts, the OPC UA server will allow the client not to communicate permanently, giving the developer a chance to use breakpoints and pause the program as needed.

Note that the actual session timeout that will be used is negotiated between the OPC UA client and OPC UA server. The value of this parameter is only a "request" from the client side, and can be revised by the server - the server has the final word.

In order to obtain or modify this parameter, in the default state (when OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClientCore.Isolated equals to false), access OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Engine.UAClientAdaptableParameters.SessionParameters property of static OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClientCore.AdaptableParameters. If you have set OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClientCore.Isolated to true, you need to access OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Engine.UAClientAdaptableParameters.SessionParameters property of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClientCore.IsolatedParameters.

The getter method of this property is pure, i.e. it does not have observable side effects.

This member or type is for use from COM. It is not meant to be used from .NET or Python. Refer to the corresponding .NET member or type instead, if you are developing in .NET or Python.
