CertificateAcceptancePolicy Property (_UAClientEngineParameters)
Example 



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Engine.ComTypes Namespace > _UAClientEngineParameters Interface : CertificateAcceptancePolicy Property
Determines which server certificates are accepted.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Property CertificateAcceptancePolicy As UACertificateAcceptancePolicy
'Usage
 
Dim instance As _UAClientEngineParameters
Dim value As UACertificateAcceptancePolicy
 
instance.CertificateAcceptancePolicy = value
 
value = instance.CertificateAcceptancePolicy
[NotNull()]
UACertificateAcceptancePolicy CertificateAcceptancePolicy {get; set;}
[NotNull()]
property UACertificateAcceptancePolicy^ CertificateAcceptancePolicy {
   UACertificateAcceptancePolicy^ get();
   void set (    UACertificateAcceptancePolicy^ value);
}

Property Value

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

Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

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

In order to obtain or modify this parameter, access the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Engine.EasyUAClientSharedParameters.EngineParameters property of static OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClientCore.SharedParameters.

The getter method of this property is pure, i.e. it does not have observable side effects.

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.
