Hello.
The problem is now fixed, in QuickOPC 5.80.274, which is now on our Web site (Downloads) and www.nuget.org.
Thank you again for reporting it.

Perfect, thank you, I was able to reproduce the problem. Good catch!
As it turns out, it is a bug in the Item Caching optimization. Essentially, when you do Read, and there is a value from Subscription notification that is of the good age, it is provided to you instead, bypassing the actual OPC Read. You get the VtqResult from the subscription, but of course the State should have been replaced by the one that you specified for Read - which is not happening.
There is a workaround - turn off the Item Caching optimization. See here: opclabs.doc-that.com/files/onlinedocs/OPCLabs-OpcStudio/Late...html#OPC%20DA%20Optimizer.html , i.e. in your case:
Stay tuned, the true fix should come soon. I will post here when it is ready,
Best regards

I prepared a simple code example that demonstrates the issue. Please find that in the attachments.

Thank you.
Is this something for which you can provide a code that shows the problem, with some OPC DA server accessible to us?
I can try to write the code and reproduce, but there is a danger that it won't show up.

Thank you for the response,
Unfortunately, using OpcLabs.QuickOpc 5.80.255 does not solve the problem.
Kind regards,
Kristian

Hello,
I agree this looks like a bug.
However, you are using an older version. First thing to do is to try to reproduce with the current QuickOPC version. If it remains a problem, we will investigate.

Hi,
I am communicating with OPC DA server using OpcLabs.QuickOpc 5.63.246 (.net6.0). In my application I perform subscription to the item A at startup, and in some cases I need to read the value of item A using EasyDAClient.ReadMultipleItems(DAReadItemArguments[] argumentsArray). Data source is ByValueAge and ValueAge is 1 sec.
Both for subscription and for reading I use State and operate with that when I get the response from OPC DA server. In most cases I perform read operation after the value changes, so it happens after I get subscription notification (< ValueAge). The problem is, in this situation State contains wrong object. Instead of State I specified in the DAReadItemArguments before reading using EasyDAClient.ReadMultipleItems(DAReadItemArguments[] argumentsArray), I receive object of type OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.Implementation.DelegatingEasyDAClient+DelegationRecord, which is impossible to operate with.
Specifying ValueAge = 0 sec fixes the issue, but this is not expected behavior and seems to be bug.
Best regards,
Kristian
