Equals(AENodeDescriptor) Method



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassicCore Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.AlarmsAndEvents Namespace > AENodeDescriptor Class > Equals Method : Equals(AENodeDescriptor) Method

Because the AENodeDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.String and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.AlarmsAndEvents.AddressSpace.AENodeElement, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the qualified name of the node), or a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.AlarmsAndEvents.AddressSpace.AENodeElement object (result from OPC browsing), in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC A&E node descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the FromString or FromAENodeElement static method instead.

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