This is not currently possible, you are right. It is on the list of future enhancements (but no planned delivery date yet), though.

OK, but then it is not that good in my application.

I'm building an application where I connect with max. 10 OPC servers in different computers.
OPC servers are from different manufacturers and therefore I'd like to tune these connections with own parameters for each OPC server type.

You are right. Actually the ClientParameters is a static ("Shared" in Visual Basic) property of the EasyDAClient object, i.e. common for all its instances. The better syntax with no warning should be:
Best regards

But now when I try to do this: OPCConn1.ClientParameters.ClientReconnectDelay = 30000

Visual Studio 2008 IDE warns about following:
"Access os shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance, qualifying expression will not be evaluated"

Is this still OK (code compiles with this warning) ?

=========================
Public WithEvents OPCConn1 As OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient
Dim SubscriptionHandle() As Integer

OPCConn1 = New OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient()

OPCConn1.ClientParameters.ClientReconnectDelay = 30000

SubscriptionHandle = OPCConn1.SubscribeItem(OPCMachineName, OPCServerClass, OPCItemName, DataType, OPC_UPDATE_RATE, Deadband, Nothing)
...




==========================

You cannot assign a new EasyDAClientParameters object to the EasyDAClient object, but you can modify properties of an existing one, like this:

Hi,

I have built an OPC connection to Siemens OPC Server.
Connection works OK and I get data.

But now I'd like to modify connection parameters
- ClientReconnectDelay and so on

How to do that ?

See sample code below.

Regards,
Kari

====================================================
Public WithEvents OPCConn1 As OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient
Dim SubscriptionHandle() As Integer

Dim ClientParameters As New OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClientParameters
ClientParameters.ClientReconnectDelay = 30000

' How to add ClientParameter object into EasyDAClient object ?

OPCConn1 = New OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient()
SubscriptionHandle = OPCConn1.SubscribeItem(OPCMachineName, OPCServerClass, OPCItemName, DataType, OPC_UPDATE_RATE, Deadband, Nothing)
...
