Property Value

This property is used to indicate the connection preference when attempting to connect to a member in a PICollective for this PIServer instance that is different than the global default value specified by the DefaultPreference setting. This preference is used to influence the selection of a PICollectiveMember when a connection is made to the PICollective and not specified in the PIServer.Connect() call when attempting to connect to the server.

This property is automatically updated when calling one of the Connect Overload that specifies an AFConnectionPreference as a parameter. This allows all future connection attempts without a connection preference specified to use this same default preference.

Important
This is a client setting and is not persisted between application instances.
