MakeArrayType Method (

Returns a OpcLabs.BaseLib.ComInterop.VarType object representing an array of the current type.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Function MakeArrayType() As VarType

'Usage
 
Dim instance As _VarType
Dim value As VarType
 
value = instance.MakeArrayType()

[NotNull()]
VarType MakeArrayType()

[NotNull()]
VarType^ MakeArrayType();

Return Value

A OpcLabs.BaseLib.ComInterop.VarType object representing an array of the current type.

Because there is an implicit conversion from OpcLabs.BaseLib.ComInterop.VarType to System.Int32 and OpcLabs.BaseLib.ComInterop.VarTypes, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the return value in place of an integer (System.Int32) (representing the numerical value of the COM VARTYPE), or in place a OpcLabs.BaseLib.ComInterop.VarTypes enumeration value. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the ToInt32 or ToVarTypes static method instead.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.InvalidOperationException	A method call was invalid for the object's current state. This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.
