QuickOPC used for education by Technikerschule der Landeshauptstadt München
Technikerschule - Städtische Fachschule für Maschinenbau-, Metallbau-, Informatik- und Elektrotechnik in München, Germany, has used QuickOPC in one of its courses. In an automation + IT class of Dipl.-Ing. Reiner Doll, students learn about various levels in industrial automation. One of their tasks is to access a control system using OPC Unified Architecture from a Visual Basic program. QuickOPC is used to achieve this task, either directly, or in form of higher-level programming blocks prepared for the students. The material to the course can be found here.

QuickOPC Introduces Support For OPC XML-DA, And Browsing Controls
We are releasing QuickOPC version 5.31 today, with two key improvements.
- New browsing controls (for OPC Classic and OPC UA) allow you to integrate OPC browsing right on your forms. Unlike with the browsing dialogs, you have full freedom in creating your own visual appearance and behavior of the form.
- QuickOPC.NET now directly supports OPC XML-DA Specification Version 1.01. What's even better, there are no new components for this - the XML-DA support is seamlessly integrated with OPC Data Access. You can work with OPC XML-DA servers just as with COM-based OPC Data Access servers, simply by specifying the server's URL in place of the usual machine name and server class (ProgID).
