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.

.
arrayDimensions
 (uint[ ])

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

Example

The following example shows an API that creates a
