The code below (in Visual Basic language) reads and displays an item value, using QuickOPC.NET:

' Read item value and display it in a message box MessageBox.Show(EasyDAClient.DefaultInstance.ReadItemValue("", "OPCLabs.KitServer.2",     "Demo.Single"))

The code below subscribes to changes of an item, and displays the value with each change:

' The callback is a lambda expression that displays the value EasyDAClient.DefaultInstance.SubscribeItem(     "", "OPCLabs.KitServer.2", "Demo.Single", 1000,     Sub(sender, args) Console.WriteLine(args.Vtq.Value))

No other product can do this in such a clear and concise code, in a single statement!
