Adds a complex type system client library extension for custom enumerations and structure types based on a server dictionary or DataTypeDefinition using emitted classes at runtime.
- Custom types are added to the session factory, not to the global factory. Types are loaded when the session connects by adding
` var complexTypeSystem = new ComplexTypeSystem(session);
await complexTypeSystem.Load();
`
- Custom type properties can be accessed with an accessor [propertyname] or [index]. Direct access through the properties is possible, but some cases do not update the optional or union flags correctly.
- Support includes V1.03 dictionaries and V1.04 DataTypeDefinitions (--> known issues).
- NetCoreComplexClient can be used for quick testing servers. It prints out all custom types with content and subscribes to all. Also includes sample how to write back complex type variables and how to output JSON.
- The UA Sample Client and the Quickstart Data Type client can be used for testing with UI. Many issues were adressed to be able to read and write complex types, however some support is limited, e.g. only editing simple fields is currently working (help wanted).
- Caveat: The complex type libaries for .Net Core must be built for .netcoreapp, so it needs a seperate nuget package for the complex type client extension.
- Support for a factory type builder class to allow to plugin other type builder methods (e.g. Codedom etc...)
- Added JSON test case and include the complex types client in the testing shell script, so the complex types lib is tested on mac/linux too.
- Few fixes in the JSON encoder.
Finding enough servers with custom types is an issue, so if you find servers with unsupported custom types please provide feedback.
Known limitations:
- Only V1.03 OPC binary dictionaries are supported (no XML Schema dictionaries).
- V1.03 dictionary structure definitions are only supported if they can be mapped to a V1.04 DataTypeDefinition. Nested types and cross dictionary refs should work.
- OptionSet is only partially implemented. Only shows the byte arrays, not the flags.
- Opaque Types in dictionaries are ignored.
* fix schema validator and dictionary loader (only binary scheme)
# include some .bsd files for validation
* add check for some configuration fields, to return a meaningful error.
- add a few more dependent complex types for testing
- fix UI issue which prevents dialogs from showing data
* workaround for dialogs with imagestream, always throwing exceptions
* rebuild with v1.04 modelcompiler
* Fixes#709 - Allow HTTPS clients to send the certificate for servers that require TLS client authentication
* Fixes#692 - HTTPS Server listener - Use the first configured policy for HTTPS
App registration for push servers from GDS client stopped working, maybe due to new db version in VS. But nulling the locale fixes the issue.
Note: DB should be recreated or the locale column must be manually set to nullable in the SQL Db.
#811 fixed
