Formatter#16 lcaErrFormatIllegalDataOnUnformat
exception will be thrown. You should note that OpenLNS
only performs this range checking on scalar types. If you are
using data points to read and write the value of a network
variable or configuration property whose type is a structure
and you want LNS to perform this range checking, you will
need to create a separate data point for each field. You can
create data points to represent each field in a given structure
with the GetField method.
You can set options that determine how the information
contained in the FormattedValue property will be formatted
and displayed by writing to the FormatLocale object
currently being used by the application. This includes options
such as the format used to display dates and times and the
measurement units used to display the value. You can
determine which FormatLocale object is currently being used
with the CurrentFormatLocale property of the ObjectServer
object.
