System.ArgumentNullException |
A 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. |
OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAException | The OPC UA operation has failed. This operation exception in uniformly used to allow common handling of various kinds of errors. The System.Exception.InnerException always contains information about the actual error cause. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately. |
The directoryNodeDescriptor must be an existing node in the server, of object type OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.Standard.UAObjectTypeIds.FileDirectoryType.
If the directoryNodeDescriptor does not denote an existing node of the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.Standard.UAObjectTypeIds.FileDirectoryType object type, the method throws OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAException. If, however, the directoryNodeDescriptor denotes an existing directory node, but the child directory named directoryName does not exist, the method returns null
.
