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 windows form apps, when icon on the taskbar disappears but is still running
* use exceptiondlg where it was missing
* change GetAssemblyTimestamp, pe header is not containing a timestamp in .net core assemblies
- certs were not created on Linux w. Openssl if a passcode was missing from the pkcs12 store
- stabilize the creation on windows where UWP is picky about the storage keys to use
- CR feedback
2. Added generate cert script to project files.
3. Made "\\" platform independent, even for .Net4 samples (apart from GDS samples).
4. Fixed cert validation popups (yes/no was reversed!).
5. Got GDS server and client samples running (no connection yet).
6. Fixed configuration and popups in GDS client.
2. Removed "netcoreapp1.0" from project.json as it is not required.
3. Updated generated OPC type classes with latest definitions.
4. Added session-less request validation.
5.Added small helper method in certificate store ID class.
6. Added OAuth2 credentials.
7. Brought original user identities back in (username, cert, certIDs) and added JWTs.
2. Removed client cert validation from HTTPS client and server as this is not supported on all platforms, e.g. .Net4.6.
3. Reverted back to XmlDocument from XDocument as this is now supported via a NuGet package on UWP and XDocument is not supported on .Net4.6.
4. Baseline .Net4.6 samples and assoc. controls project check-in, not working yet.
5. Moved UWP client controls from SDK to Samples directly.
