ReadMultiple Method (

Reads multiple attributes, using array of argument objects as an input.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Function ReadMultiple( _
   ByVal readArgumentsArray As Object _
) As Object()

'Usage
 
Dim instance As _EasyUAClient
Dim readArgumentsArray As Object
Dim value() As Object
 
value = instance.ReadMultiple(readArgumentsArray)

[NotNull()]
object[] ReadMultiple( 
   object readArgumentsArray
)

[NotNull()]
array<Object^>^ ReadMultiple( 
   Object^ readArgumentsArray
)

Parameters

readArgumentsArray

Array of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAReadArguments. Array of argument objects specifying what to read from an OPC-UA server.

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

The individual elements of the parameter value cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

Array of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.UAAttributeDataResult. Returns an array of attribute data objects. Each object stores the value of an attribute, together with status code and timestamps. The indices of elements in the output array are the same as those in the input array, .

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

The individual elements of the returned value are never null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

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.

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.

Remarks

The size of the input array will become the size of the output array. The element positions (indices) in the output array are the same as in the input array.

Each element in the input array corresponds to a separate logical read operation (although the operations may and will be executed together, if possible). The method returns an array of results, where each result corresponds to the read operation at the same index in the input array.

This member or type is for use from COM. It is not meant to be used from .NET or Python. Refer to the corresponding .NET member or type instead, if you are developing in .NET or Python.
