public:
static DANodeElementCollection^ BrowseLeaves( 
   IEasyDAClient^ client,
   String^ machineName,
   String^ serverClass,
   String^ parentItemId
)

Parameters

client: The client object that will perform the operation.
machineName: Name of the machine (empty string for local computer).
serverClass: Contains ProgID of the OPC server to browse.
parentItemId: ID of the parent branch to be browsed (empty string for root)

Return Value

The method returns a keyed collection of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement values, each containing information about a particular leaf found. The keys of the keyed collection are the names of the leaves.

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.
OpcLabs.EasyOpc.OperationModel.OpcException	The OPC "Classic" (or OPC XML-DA) 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.
