Public Interface IAscomDeviceV2
Inherits IAscomDevice- Implements
- IAscomDevice
Properties
| Connected |
Set True to enable the link. Set False to disable the link.
You can also read the property to check whether it is connected.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| Connecting | Completion variable for asynchronous connect and disconnect operations |
| Description |
Returns a description of the driver, such as manufacturer and model number.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| DeviceState | Returns the device's operational state in a single call |
| DriverInfo |
Descriptive and version information about this ASCOM driver.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| DriverVersion |
A string in the form "n.n" containing only the major and minor version of the driver.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| InterfaceVersion |
The interface version number that this device implements.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| Name |
The short name of the driver, for display purposes
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| SupportedActions |
Returns the list of action names supported by this driver.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
Methods
| Action |
Invokes the specified device-specific action.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| CommandBlind |
Transmits an arbitrary string to the device and does not wait for a response.
Optionally, protocol framing characters may be added to the string before transmission.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| CommandBool |
Transmits an arbitrary string to the device and waits for a boolean response.
Optionally, protocol framing characters may be added to the string before transmission.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| CommandString |
Transmits an arbitrary string to the device and waits for a string response.
Optionally, protocol framing characters may be added to the string before transmission.
(Inherited from IAscomDevice) |
| Connect | Connect to device asynchronously |
| Disconnect | Disconnect from device asynchronously |
| Dispose |
This method is a "clean-up" method that is primarily of use to drivers that are written in languages such as C# and VB.NET where resource clean-up is initially managed by the language's
runtime garbage collection mechanic. Driver authors should take care to ensure that a client or runtime calling Dispose() does not adversely affect other connected clients.
Applications should not call this method.

Extension Methods
| ConnectAsync |
Returns an awaitable, running, Task that connects to the device. (Polls IAscomDeviceV2.Connecting)
(Defined by ClientExtensions) |
| DisconnectAsync |
Returns an awaitable, running, Task that disconnects from the device. (Polls IAscomDeviceV2.Connecting)
