Syntaxpublic interface IActionAdapter : IAdapter, ISupportLifecycle, IDisposable, IProvideStatus
The IActionAdapter type exposes the following members.
 Properties
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|  | AutoStart | Gets or sets flag indicating if adapter should automatically start or connect on demand. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | ConnectionInfo | Gets connection info for adapter, if any. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | ConnectionString | Gets or sets key/value pair connection information specific to IAdapter. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | DataSource | Gets or sets DataSet based data source available to IAdapter. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | Enabled | Gets or sets a boolean value that indicates whether the object is enabled. (Inherited from ISupportLifecycle) | 
|  | ID | Gets or sets the numeric ID associated with this IAdapter. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | InitializationTimeout | Gets or sets maximum time system will wait during Start for initialization. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | Initialized | Gets or sets flag indicating if the adapter has been initialized successfully. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | InputMeasurementKeys | Gets or sets primary keys of input measurements the adapter expects. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | InputSourceIDs | Gets or sets Source values used to filter input measurement keys. | 
|  | IsDisposed | Gets a flag that indicates whether the object has been disposed. (Inherited from ISupportLifecycle) | 
|  | Name | Gets or sets name of this IAdapter. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | OutputMeasurements | Gets or sets output measurements that the adapter will produce, if any. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | OutputSourceIDs | Gets or sets Source values used to filter output measurements. | 
|  | ProcessedMeasurements | Gets the total number of measurements processed thus far by the IAdapter. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | ProcessingInterval | Gets or sets the desired processing interval, in milliseconds, for the adapter. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | RequestedInputMeasurementKeys | Gets or sets input measurement keys that are requested by other adapters based on what adapter says it can provide. | 
|  | RequestedOutputMeasurementKeys | Gets or sets output measurement keys that are requested by other adapters based on what adapter says it can provide. | 
|  | RespectInputDemands | Gets or sets flag indicating if action adapter should respect auto-start requests based on input demands. | 
|  | RespectOutputDemands | Gets or sets flag indicating if action adapter should respect auto-start requests based on output demands. | 
|  | Settings | Gets settings DictionaryTKey, TValue parsed when ConnectionString was assigned. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | StartTimeConstraint | Gets the start time temporal processing constraint defined by call to SetTemporalConstraint(String, String, String). (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | Status | Gets the current status details about object providing status information. (Inherited from IProvideStatus) | 
|  | StopTimeConstraint | Gets the stop time temporal processing constraint defined by call to SetTemporalConstraint(String, String, String). (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | SupportsTemporalProcessing | Gets the flag indicating if this adapter supports temporal processing. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
 Methods
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|  | Dispose | Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. (Inherited from IDisposable) | 
|  | GetShortStatus | Gets a short one-line adapter status. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | Initialize | Initializes the state of the object. (Inherited from ISupportLifecycle) | 
|  | QueueMeasurementsForProcessing | Queues measurements for processing. Measurements are automatically filtered to the defined InputMeasurementKeys. | 
|  | SetTemporalConstraint | Defines a temporal processing constraint for the adapter. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | Start | Starts the adapter, if it is not already running. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | Stop | Stops the adapter. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
 Events
Events| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|  | ConfigurationChanged | Event is raised when adapter is aware of a configuration change. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | DiscardingMeasurements | This event is raised if there are any measurements being discarded during the sorting process. | 
|  | Disposed | Raised after the source object has been properly disposed. (Inherited from ISupportLifecycle) | 
|  | InputMeasurementKeysUpdated | Event is raised when InputMeasurementKeys are updated. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | NewMeasurements | Provides new measurements from action adapter. | 
|  | OutputMeasurementsUpdated | Event is raised when OutputMeasurements are updated. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | ProcessException | Event is raised when there is an exception encountered while processing. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | StatusMessage | Provides status messages to consumer. (Inherited from IAdapter) | 
|  | UnpublishedSamples | This event is raised every five seconds allowing consumer to track current number of unpublished seconds of data in the queue. |
