Hi

In C#, when I add a stream state with the model compiler using:

<Object SymbolicName="MNS:MyStream1" TypeDefinition="ADI:StreamType">
</Object>

I do not get IsEnabled and IsForced in the configuration. However when I use the below code, I do. 

var stream = new StreamState(this);
stream.Create(context, null, new QualifiedName("MyStream"), null, true);
this.AddChild(stream);

Why is this and how do I get my XML stream state to have the mentioned properties in the configuration?

Thanks for any help.

DI:ParameterSet is optional so it does not appear unless explicitly declared in an instance.

The Server Object declaration has the same issue and deals with it by re-declaring instances as Mandatory:

You do not need to repeat information from the type since it will be automatically filled in.

In C# you have explicitly create optional children before calling Create.

Thank you Randy

Two questions:

1) Can you show how to re-declare as mandatory please?

2) If doing the explicit creation in C#, how do you refer to the existing IsEnabled?

Cheers,

Search for the "Server" Object:

https://github.com/OPCFoundati.....dTypes.xml

In memory serves, the DI model does not follow the pattern that the C# code generator expects because of the un-typed folders with random properties and methods thrown into an instance. The lack of types means no named property accessors unless you add them in your own code.
