'Usage
 
Dim subscriber As IEasyUASubscriber
Dim pubSubConnectionDescriptor As UAPubSubConnectionDescriptor
Dim waitMilliseconds As Integer

[NotNull()]
public static Task TestConnectionAsync( 
   IEasyUASubscriber subscriber,
   UAPubSubConnectionDescriptor pubSubConnectionDescriptor,
   int waitMilliseconds
)

[Extension()]

[NotNull()]
public:
static Task^ TestConnectionAsync( 
   IEasyUASubscriber^ subscriber,
   UAPubSubConnectionDescriptor^ pubSubConnectionDescriptor,
   int waitMilliseconds
)

Parameters

subscriber: The subscriber object that will perform the operation.
pubSubConnectionDescriptor: Descriptor for a PubSub connection (using physical parameters, or logical name).
waitMilliseconds: Number of milliseconds to wait before the connection test can pass.

Return Value

The method returns a task that executes normally when the test passes. The task throws a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAException when there is an error establishing the connection.

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.
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.

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.

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

Due to asynchronous nature of some communication channels, successful test outcome does not always imply that a connection has been fully established.

The waitMilliseconds parameter is not a timeout in its traditional sense, i.e. a maximum time allowed for the operation. Here, this method actually waits for the time given by waitMilliseconds parameter unless a failure occurs.

This is an asynchronous method. For a synchronous alternative, see TestConnection(IEasyUASubscriber,UAPubSubConnectionDescriptor,Int32).
