Example 



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA Namespace > UADataChangeFilter Class > Implicit Type Conversion Operator : Implicit Type Conversion(UADataChangeFilter,Double) Operator
A data change filter's absolute deadband value.
Converts a double to a data change filter, by creating a filter with absolute deadband.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Overloads Public Operator Widening CType( _
   ByVal absoluteDeadbandValue As Double _
) As UADataChangeFilter
'Usage
 
[NotNull()]
public UADataChangeFilter operator implicit( 
   double absoluteDeadbandValue
)
[NotNull()]
public:
operator UADataChangeFilter^ ( 
   double absoluteDeadbandValue
)

Parameters

absoluteDeadbandValue
A data change filter's absolute deadband value.

Return Value

Returns a data change filter specifying the given absolute deadband, and triggered by UADataChangeTrigger.StatusValueTimestamp.

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

Remarks

This operator is equivalent to FromDouble.
