InformationModel.MakeVariableType(browseName, dataTypeId, arrayDimensions)

Create a project variable type derived from the BaseDataVariableType (base variable) type, which contains the data type indicated by the second argument and returns a C# object of the corresponding IUAVariableType type. Optionally, it is possible to create an array, specifying its size with the third argument.

static IUAVariableType MakeVariableType(QualifiedName browseName, NodeId dataTypeId, uint[] arrayDimensions);

Arguments

browseName (QualifiedName): The BrowseName of the new variable type.
dataTypeId (NodeId): The Data type contained in the new variable.

Tip: A node inside the DataTypes class represents the Data type. For example,OpcUa.DataTypes.Boolean.
arrayDimensions (uint[ ]): Optional. The size of the Array.

Returns

IUAVariableType: A C# object matching the project variable type created.

Example

The following example shows an API that creates a MyVarType variable, which contains an Int32 data:

var myVar = InformationModel.MakeVariableType("MyVarType", OpcUa.DataTypes.Int32);
Owner.Add(myVar);
