OPCAE.NET Client Component

OPCAE.NET is a .NET assembly with the functionality of the OPC AE Custom Interface.

OPC AE client applications can be developed with Visual Basic .Net or C#. The client may access only OPC AE servers or may also access OPC DA servers using the OpcDaNet wrapper assembly in combination with the OpcAENet wrapper assembly.

OPC AE client functianlity can be added to existing applications or new applications can be created with the OPCAE.NET Visual Studio new project template. The created application contains small sample code that shows how to:
- browse the installed OPC AE servers
- connect to the selected server
- start a subscription and handle events

The wrapper assembly supports all functions defined in OPC AE V1.1 custom interface.

This help documentation contains description of all functions, their parameters, data structures and enumerators.
The basic chapters of the OPC AE specification are however not copied. For a description of how an OPC AE server works, the OPC AE specification to has to be studied.
