Hi!

Yes. I think it can be delayed.

[...], and I agree with you about Dispose.

Many Thanks.

Dear Sir,
Originally I did not see anything wrong with your code, but later I have realized that there actually may be problems in it.

It is in the fact that
1. The UnsubscribeItem/UnsubscribeAllItems that affects an item is called from inside the item changed handler for that same item, and
2. Dispose() is called from inside an event handler on the same object that generates the event.

At this point I cannot be sure if these are the cause of the problem, but it is quite likely.
I admit that probably nowhere in the documentation we have described these limitations. They seemed kind of obvious. (for Dispose, I think this limitation would be derivable from Microsoft’s docs, because there must be no more calls on the disposed object, which cannot be assured when done this way).

At the same time, I understand what you are trying to achieve – though it may be difficult to do with the Task<T> approach.

Is there any way you can delay the call to UnsubscribeXXXX and Dispose to be performed outside the item changed handler?

If not, you can also try to remove the Dispose calls, they are not strictly necessary with our component, and they are probably a bigger problem than the UnsubscribeAllItems. With the Dispose() removed, keep the rest of your code, and see if it helps.

Hi

[...]

My customer needs to restart our service once or twice a day because we don't receive any ItemChanged event after subscribing,
See code in attached file.

Do you see any problems with this code?

The customer has a FestoPLC and OPC is "FestoCoDeSys.OPC".

As you see we subscribe and unsubscibe directly after receiving the awaited value. Could this be the program.

There is one other Component in the code subscribing to the same tag but not unsubscribing it.
