Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Overloaded. Reads a typed named item from an OPC server. Only the item's typed value is returned (quality and timestamp are not returned).

The server can be local or can be remotely accessed via DCOM. Optionally, an access path can be specified or a specific data type can be requested.
