Hello Support,

I tested with the Nuget version and it's working as expected!
Thank you for resolving this issue quickly!

Hello.

The problem should be fixed now. Thank you for reporting it.

Please download the recent QuickOPC 2021.2 build, and rebuild with it. It should report itself as 5.61.343.1 or higher. It is both on NuGet and as standalone installer on our Web page.

Best regards

Thank you. I was able to extract the files, get the server running, and also run your code and reproduce the issue.

Writing from UaExpert worked well, so I went on to analyze the difference. UaExpert is writing an array of ExtensionObject-s, while QuickOPC an array of Variant-s, each of which contains an ExtensionObject, and this seems to be causing the problem. This looks like a bug in QuickOPC. I will investigate further and let you know when I have an update on the issue.

Best regards

I packed the files as .zip this time. The file contains .exe and .dll files. Could that be the reason that the .rar file couldn't be opened?

Hello.

Neither WinZip nor 7zip are able to open the RAR file you have attached.
Can you please check, and possibly post in a different format.

Best regards

QuickOpc 5.61.241
I'm still struggling with the writing of a struct array. I can read the array objects and alter the values, but when I write the values to the server, the datatype becomes an unsupported datatype.
namespace OpcUaTestConsole{
    #region usings
    using System;
    using OpcLabs.BaseLib.DataTypeModel;
    using OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA;
    using OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.ComplexData;
    #endregion
    public static class Program{
        private static readonly UAEndpointDescriptor UaEndpointDescriptor = "opc.tcp://localhost:48030/";
        private static readonly UANodeDescriptor     UaNodeDescriptor     = "ns=2;i=6016";
        public static void Main(){
            ReadAndSaveArrayData();
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
        private static void ReadAndSaveArrayData(){
            using(var client = new EasyUAClient()){
                var readValue = client.ReadValue(UaEndpointDescriptor, UaNodeDescriptor);
                if(!(readValue is Array bundleInfoArray)){
                    return;
                }
                foreach(var value in bundleInfoArray){
                    if(!(value is UAGenericObject bundleInfo)){
                        continue;
                    }
                    var fieldData = (((StructuredData)bundleInfo.GenericData)?.FieldData);
                    if(fieldData is null){
                        continue;
                    }
                    var batchCode      = ((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BatchCode"]).Value?.ToString();
                    var bundleCode     = ((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BundleCode"]).Value?.ToString();
                    var boardCount     = int.Parse(((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BoardCount"]).Value?.ToString()     ?? "0");
                    var boardLength    = int.Parse(((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BoardLength"]).Value?.ToString()    ?? "0");
                    var boardWidth     = int.Parse(((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BoardWidth"]).Value?.ToString()     ?? "0");
                    var boardThickness = int.Parse(((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BoardThickness"]).Value?.ToString() ?? "0");
 
                    ((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BatchCode"]).Value      = "12854";
                    ((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BundleCode"]).Value     = "XYZ-159782";
                    ((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BoardCount"]).Value     = boardCount     + 1;
                    ((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BoardLength"]).Value    = boardLength    + 1;
                    ((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BoardWidth"]).Value     = boardWidth     + 1;
                    ((PrimitiveData)fieldData["BoardThickness"]).Value = boardThickness + 1;
                }
                client.WriteValue(UaEndpointDescriptor, UaNodeDescriptor, bundleInfoArray);
            }
        }
    }
}
I also attached the test server.

Hope you can point me in the right direction.

Best regards,
Goos van Beek.

Yes, I think this is the case.

Can you please do me a favour? I would like to obtain following information, for improving our error diagnostics in the future: Connect to your server in UaExpert,
find the Server -> ServerStatus -> BuildInfo variable, put it into the Data Access view, and then double-click in the Value column to display the information, and provide a screenshot.

That would be very helpful.

Thank you, and best regards

Hello,

My bad, I forgot to test with another client.

So I did a test with UaExpert and the result is a little bit disappointing for me.
The test also triggered an exception; BadWriteNotSupported (see the attachment).

It seems that it is not possible to use a structured array with this OPCC server.

Best regards,
Goos van Beek.
