I've been attempting to use OPC off and on for the past year. I HATE OPC! DDE was so much easier, and I have yet to see any advantage to OPC. I'm hoping somebody here can change my mind.
I'm trying to write an application in C# and Visual Basic (Visual Studio 2008) using the Graybox OPC DA Auto Wrapper and KepServer. I haven't been able to find any good examples or tutorials to go by. I'm not an expert programmer, but I know just enough to be a little dangerous.
I want my application to load and connect to a specific OPC server automatically (preferably on a different computer on my network). Every example I find requires me to interact with the application, browsing and connecting to the OPC server. Then I have to add groups. I try to disect the examples and write my own that does all this automatically, but it never works and I keep getting lost.
Maybe it's just me, but it should be much easier than this. I'd really appreciate any help I could get here. I'm ready to just continue programming in VB6 so I can use DDE.
Thank you,
