UABrowseArguments Constructor(Object,UAEndpointDescriptor,UANodeDescriptor,UABrowseParameters)

Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UAEndpointDescriptor has implicit conversions from System.String and System.Uri, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the endpoint URL, or a so-called OPC UA endpoint descriptor string), or a System.Uri object, in place of this parameter, and the corresponding endpoint descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UAEndpointDescriptor.FromString or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UAEndpointDescriptor.FromUri static method instead.

If you are using OPC Wizard (for server development), an implicit conversion from OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAServerCore can be used in the same way to simply pass the server object in place of this parameter, which will use its OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAServerCore.EffectiveServerDescriptor property for the connection.

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

Node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor has implicit conversions from OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeElement, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UABrowsePath and System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId object (representing the Id of the OPC UA node), a node element object (from OPC UA browsing), OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Navigation.UABrowsePath object (representing OPC UA absolute browse path), or a string (with expanded node Id text) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding node descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor.FromString, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor.FromUABrowsePath, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor.FromUANodeElement or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.UANodeDescriptor.FromUANodeId static method instead.

If you are using OPC Wizard (for server development), an implicit conversion from OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.NodeSpace.UAServerNode can be used in the same way to simply pass the server node in place of this parameter, which will use its OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.NodeSpace.UAServerNode.EffectiveNodeDescriptor property for the operation.

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

Initializes a new instance, specifying the state object, endpoint descriptor, node descriptor, and browse parameters.

Parameters

state

User-defined state object.

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

endpointDescriptor

Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.

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

nodeDescriptor

Node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.

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

Exceptions

Exception Description

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	A `null` reference (`Nothing` in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument. 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.
