Previous: What’s New in QuickOPC 5.35

Component Core Improvements (.NET)

• Added static EasyXXClient.Create() methods (behave the same as parameterless constructors).
• Ensured expandable display of all types in LINQPad.

Packaging

• The OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassicForms and OpcLabs.EasyOpcUAForms assemblies have been merged into a single assembly, OpcLabs.EasyOpcForms. Consequently, the corresponding type libraries have also been merged in the same way.
• The NuGet packages now include LINQPad examples with them.

Examples (.NET)

• Added C# example UASimpleLogToSql: Logs OPC Unified Architecture data changes into an SQL database, using a subscription. Values of all data types are stored in a single SQL_VARIANT column.
• Added F# example project UADocExamples, and started adding examples to it. Examples taken from this project appear in the reference documentation.
• Added F# example UAConsoleApplication1: The simplest console application. Reads and displays an OPC-UA node value.
• Added examples in LINQPad.

Examples (COM)

• Added example in VB 6.0 - UAReadAndDisplayValue: The simplest form for OPC-UA. Reads and displays an OPC-UA node value.
• Added example in VBA under Excel - UAClientCertificateParameters.xls: Shows how to set the application name for the client certificate.
