OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.DataTypeModel.ComTypes Namespace > _UADataTypeSystem Interface : EncodeInDataTypeDictionaryModel Method
Identifies an OPC UA data type together with its data type dictionary.

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

The generic data to be encoded.

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

In DataTypeDictionary model, encodes generic data according to given data type descriptor.

   ByVal genericData As Object _
) As ValueResult
'Usage
 
Dim instance As _UADataTypeSystem
Dim dataTypeDescriptor As Object
Dim genericData As Object
Dim value As ValueResult

Parameters

dataTypeDescriptor
Identifies an OPC UA data type together with its data type dictionary.

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

genericData
The generic data to be encoded.

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

Return Value

A value result: A success with the encoded extension object body, or a failure.

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

Remarks

The data type dictionary in the data type descriptor dataTypeDescriptor must refer to a dictionary that is known in the data type system (either intrinsically, by configuration, or added through the AddDataTypeDictionary method). The data type description in the dataTypeDescriptor must be valid and exist in the data type dictionary.

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.

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET Framework: Windows 10 (selected versions), Windows 11 (selected versions), Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2022; .NET: Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows
