ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions Method (IEasyUAClient)
Example 



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA Namespace > IEasyUAClient Interface : ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions Method
Array of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.EasyUASubscriptionChangeArguments. Array of arguments, one element per each monitored item involved in the operation.
Changes parameters of multiple subscriptions, specifying objects containing all necessary arguments.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Sub ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions( _
   ByVal subscriptionChangeArgumentsArray() As EasyUASubscriptionChangeArguments _
) 
'Usage
 
Dim instance As IEasyUAClient
Dim subscriptionChangeArgumentsArray() As EasyUASubscriptionChangeArguments
 
instance.ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions(subscriptionChangeArgumentsArray)
void ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions( 
   EasyUASubscriptionChangeArguments[] subscriptionChangeArgumentsArray
)
void ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions( 
   array<EasyUASubscriptionChangeArguments^>^ subscriptionChangeArgumentsArray
) 

Parameters

subscriptionChangeArgumentsArray
Array of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.EasyUASubscriptionChangeArguments. Array of arguments, one element per each monitored item involved in the operation.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

One of the arguments provided to a method is not valid.

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.

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 user-defined state, as given in OpcLabs.BaseLib.OperationModel.OperationArguments.State property of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.EasyUAMonitoredItemArguments when subscribing to the monitored item, cannot be changed. The OpcLabs.BaseLib.OperationModel.OperationArguments.State property of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.EasyUASubscriptionChangeArguments in the ChangeMultipleMonitoredItemSubscriptions method call is not used.

When you use this method, the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.EasyUADataChangeNotificationEventArgs.Arguments or OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel.EasyUAEventNotificationEventArgs.Arguments in the event notifications and callbacks may, during the transition period, correspond to an improper (older or newer) value.

 

This method operates (at least in part) asynchronously, with respect to the caller. The actual execution of the operation may be delayed, and the outcome of the operation (if any) is provided to the calling code using an event notification, callback, or other means explained in the text. In a properly written program, this method does not throw any exceptions. You should therefore not put try/catch statements or similar constructs around calls to this method. The only exceptions thrown by this method are for usage errors, i.e. when your code violates the usage contract of the method, such as passing in invalid arguments or calling the method when the state of the object does not allow it. Any operation-related errors (i.e. errors that depend on external conditions that your code cannot reliably check) are indicated by the means the operation returns its outcome (if any), which is described in the text. For more information, see Do not catch any exceptions with asynchronous or multiple-operation methods.
