VB

Public Class SumHandleWrite
    Inherits SumWrite

The SumHandleWrite type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	TryWrite	Tries to write the values.
	Write	Writes the values to the Symbols.

Remarks

This is an ADS Sum Command to access values by handle information. It is always used in combination with and . By design (and in contrast to the symbolic access in SumSymbolRead, SumSymbolWrite) this access method can act only with ADS ANY Type (Primitive) values (disadvantage). The Advantage is, that no symbolic information must be loaded before accessing the values, see samples:
