Yestarday I tried something similar with CallArguments1.SetInputFullTypeNames but I was far from your solution.
Anyway...it works!!
You solved a big problem for me.
Thank you, I really appreciated your help.

Hello.
I know what is happening. I will try to navigate you to the right solution (which is somewhat complicated), because we do not have a ready-made example for that.
The type for these 3 arguments needs to be specified as array of strings, but with TypeCode-s, only scalars can be specified. As method overloads are not available in COM, we do not have a method overload to directly pass in what you need. But it still can be done.
You need to:
1. Use CallMultipleMethods method instead (even though you are calling just one method - you will therefore specify just one, this is fine). For a VB6 example with CallMultipleMethods, see opclabs.doc-that.com/files/onlinedocs/OPCLabs-OpcStudio/Late...Call%20multiple%20methods.html .
2. Instead of using array of TypeCode (variable typeCodes1(10) in the example), using will use an array of strings, specifying the full .NET types. It will look something like this:
3. You will remove the type codes from the example, and modify the example to use
to specify the types before calling the method
Regards

Thank you for your quick response.
I try to change the code with your tips but unfortunately I recive this error now:
it seems that the code stops before write. I attached the wireshark readresponse.
(it seems as if it doesn't accept typecode 18 for string arrays)
Any more ideas?

Hello.
This may require more changes, but if the right type for arguments 5,6,7 is indeed an array of strings, then when are you doing this?
It seems to me that it should be
I am not saying this is the whole problem, but it is at least a part of the problem. If changing it does not help, please capture the Wireshark with this new code again, so that I can closer to the cause.
Best regards

Hi,
I have a problem with a CallMethod in OpcUA COM (Visual Basic 6.0)
When I call the method I recive the error below (BadInvalidArgument).
I checked with WireShark the difference between UaExpert method call (it works properly) and my call in VB6 (not working) and I found a difference in input(5), input(6), input(7) . (code below)
In the UAExpert method they are 3 Array of String.
In my VB6 method I assigned 3 String (Typecode=18).
I guess that's the problem. Do you know the correct TypeCode of an array of String?
Thank you.
(I also attached the correct wireshark call in UaExpert)
