The Source from InnerException shows as "OpcLabs.EasyOpcRaw.DataAccess.RawEasyDAClient". There is no ProgID or CLSID.
I have no problem to run the OPC Analyzer if it helps to track down the problem. If required to do so, please send me the Tool or a Link to that one.

Regards,
Broxi

Hello,
can you collect all detailed information about the exception? (e.g. from debugger?). We are looking for things like the Source field (also, the Source field of the InnerException) - if it contains the server's ProgID or CLSID, then the error is coming right from the OPC Server, otherwise it may originate in the client component.
Also, would you be willing to put a special tool (OPC Analyzer) in between the client and server, and grab and send us the information it logs to a file?
Regards,

Hi there,
i have the same issue using .NET components with Visual Studio 2010. COM works without problems, but any compiled .NET app (also demo-apps) throws an exception "OPC operation failure" with error code -2147418113. The Tags are browseable, but not retrievable.

Sorry for being late.

The exception box contains text "Catastrophic failure "
The version is "5.11.482.1"
note, that COM version works correctly.

Hello,
thank you for input. Can you please tell us what error are you getting when attempting to read, and also the version/build number of QuickOPC - e.g. by pressing About on the Demo app form?
Many thanks

Hello
I think that here is similar problem or at least it seems so.
I have to machines:
first - development PC in domain with trial version of opc client.
second - test PC in workgroup with wincc 6.2 as opc server.
There is configured local user on both machines with same username and password. When i run third party client on first machine using "Run As" in windows context menu, then I'm able to connect and read items from server. But if i use EasyOPC-DA.NET Demo Application in same way then I'm able to connect and subscribe item, but i cannot read the item value. The funny thing is that item value can be seen in item properties (number four if i remember correctly).

Hello.
The 30 minute run-time limitation is the only limitation in the trial license. Restarting the hosting process gives you another 30 minutes, and so on. The trial license does not block access to networked OPC servers.
It is not uncommon to struggle with getting OPC work remotely. Can you please send
1) Details of error message (exception), or other symptoms you are getting? (including InnerException, if any)
2) Values of parameters your are passing to the EasyDAClient methods - or a piece of code that shows it.
Besides getting the code right, there are issues related to properly configuring DCOM. I can help with that too, but need to check the above first.
Best regards,
Zbynek Zahradnik

Hi
I am a C# developer.
I downloaded the trial version of Quick OPC Classic 5.1 and got it connecting straight away to an OPC server on my development PC but I can't seem to get it to go across the network.
I see the trial version has a 30minute time bomb on it - does it also block access to networked OPC servers - is the fully licensed product only able to access OPC servers on the local PC?
