Using Network variables for both read and write

[mt28]

I'm new to measurement studio and working on a .NET project trying to communicate with a Labview project using network variables.

If I want to both read and write a network variable, in the .NET project do I need to create both a NetworkVariableWriter and NetworkVaribleReader for a single network variable?

This network variable doesn't constantly update, and is a value that the .NET project would be writing almost all of the time, but it could be changed by the labview project. The main time I would like to read the variable is upon connection.

Is binding the network variable to a .NET UI control the only solution?

Hi melcher,

It seems that you will need both the NetworkVariableReader and the NetworkVariableWriter. Take a look at the following resources concerning this process:
