public UABuiltInType operator explicit( 
   UANodeId nodeId
)

public:
UABuiltInType operator explicit( 
   UANodeId^ nodeId
)

Parameters

nodeId

The node Id to be converted.

Because the UANodeId has an implicit conversion from System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a string (representing the expanded text of the nodeId) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC UA node Id will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the UANodeId Constructor(String) constructor instead.

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

Return Value

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

OPC UA node Id, represented by the UANodeId class, directly identifies a node in a server's address space.
