There are several things that contribute to it.

1. QuickOPC version. There were speed improvements in later versions.

2. Do not call GetPropertyValue if you need multiple properties from the same server. Use GetMultiplePropertyValues and obtain them all together.

3. Building on the same idea, do not call the methods in sequence when dealing with multiple servers either. Assemble all that's required into an array, and call GetMultiplePropertyValues encompassing multiple servers. QuickOPC will operate on them in parallel.

Best regards

GetPropertyValue slow was created by Paul.Davis
I am looking at why a .net application is running quite slowly. Trace leads me to two calls to GetPropertyValue out to a remote DA server that consistently take about 0.410 milliseconds together. Other applications have no trouble getting tags from this remote server in under 10 milliseconds.

The application only needs to access several fixed tags on several different remote servers so this simple way of doing it seem logical but the cost mounts up into many seconds as the tag count rises. I have read about multiple tag access and will try this, but why is GetPropertyValue so slow?

Windows 7, EasyOPC 5.21, .Net 3.5 .......

Thanks in advance for any advice!
