Create<TValue>(ServerDescriptor,DAItemDescriptor) Method



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassic Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.Reactive Namespace > DAWriteItemValueObserver Class > Create Method : Create<TValue>(ServerDescriptor,DAItemDescriptor) Method
The OPC server involved in the operation.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.Guid, System.String and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerElement, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a GUID (representing the CLSID of the server), a string (representing the so-called OPC server descriptor string, such as a ProgID or the URL of the server), or a OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerElement object (result from OPC browsing), in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC server descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor.FromGuid, OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor.FromString or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.ServerDescriptor.FromServerElement static method instead.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The OPC item to be written into.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAItemDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.String and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement, 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.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement object (result from OPC browsing), in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC DA item descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAItemDescriptor.FromString or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAItemDescriptor.FromDANodeElement static method instead.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Creates a new observer that writes values into an OPC item given by OPC server and item descriptors.

Parameters

serverDescriptor
The OPC server involved in the operation.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

itemDescriptor
The OPC item to be written into.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAItemDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.String and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement, 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.DataAccess.AddressSpace.DANodeElement object (result from OPC browsing), in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC DA item descriptor will be constructed automatically.

Type Parameters

TValue

Return Value

Returns an observer that writes values into the given OPC item.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks
The DAReactive.DefaultClientSelector selector will be used for OPC Data Access operations.
