Isolated Property (EasyDAClientCore)

Specifies that you wish that the EasyDAClientCore object instance works with an "isolated" connection to the OPC server, i.e. one that is not shared with other instances.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Property Isolated As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As EasyDAClientCore
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.Isolated = value
 
value = instance.Isolated

public bool Isolated {get; set;}

public:
property bool Isolated {
   bool get();
   void set (    bool value);
}

Remarks

This method or property does not throw any exceptions, aside from execution exceptions such as System.Threading.ThreadAbortException or System.OutOfMemoryException.

Example

CSharp
VB.NET
Python
