array into varient

[ssnp]

I am trying to pass array of integer from one main vi to sub vi. The array i convert into variant data type. I want to reconstruct the data using variant to data function. I am not able to retrive the array irrespective to data type i set( int or array of int to variant to data ). Wondering what is going on.

Can you give an exaple of your code that doesn't work?

You need to supply the data type to convert to on the Variant to Data node (input on the top will accept anything).

Is there a particular reason you are using a variant? Also, as suggested post your code so we can see what you are doing.

That's a good point.

Are you getting an error when you try to convert from a variant?

probe shows input is array inside the variant but out put is null

Then he will need some key to indicate how the data should be decoded. I was asking because if he is simply passing the array as a variant because it sounds useful is not a very good reason. Polymorphic VIs are more appropriate. Variants are good for generic messaging schemes.

Post your code. It is near impossible to give you good advice without seeing what you are actually doing.

show the code......................................

did you signify the type of data used on the "variant to data function"?
