Meta SOP class to be used for outgoing normalised operations
Property type
Read-write property
Syntax
Visual Basic
PublicProperty MetaSOPClass AsString
Remarks
Normalised operations, unlike composite operations, are not directly tied to specific abstract syntaxes, but still need to be sent within a negotiated presentation context, which generally relates to a number of related operations, and is known as a Meta SOP Class. This property defines this abstract context, and is therefore used for the selection of an appropriate presentation context, according to those negotiated and available. If this property is a null string, then the SOP class specified in the normalised operation itself is used, which may be appropriate for some classes, which do not use meta SOP classes for negotiation.
