read array matrikon opc

[megmorten]

Hello,

I am trying to read out an string array from a MatrikonOPC server, but when I am trying to read out the values the only thing that I get is value System.string[].

The code I am trying to use (C#):

String opcUrl = "opc://localhost/MATRIKON.OPC.Simulation/Bucket Brigade.ArrayOfString";

String[] midString;

string pattern = (":");

datasocket.Connect(opcUrl, AccessMode.ReadWriteAutoUpdate);

midString = datasocket.Data.Value;

string[] substring = Regex.Split(midString, pattern);

With this code I get that it cannot implicit convert an object to string[].

I haven't used datasocket previously but the error seems to indicate that the datasocket.Data.Value is returning an Object and not a string[].  You would need to perform casting to a string before using the returned object.  Maybe something like this would work

string midString = datasocket.Data.Value as string;

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty( midString ))

{

   .... do something with the string.........

}
