Property Value

Type: AFDataReferenceMethod
Specifies which of the data reference methods are supported. Its value can be one or more of the AFDataReferenceMethod enumeration values logically ORed together.

Remarks

If a data reference is intended to be read-only, it should not support the SetValue method. Normally, to support GetValues, the data reference must support the context of Time, or be based on another attribute which supports the GetValues method. Data References which specify the CreateConfig option will have the user interface make available a command to inform the data reference to update the foreign database's configuration. For example, the PI Point Data Reference can be made to update the tag configuration of the specified point.
