Creates a project variable of the type indicated by the third argument, and which contains the data type indicated by the second argument. It returns a C# object of the specified
<T>
 type corresponding to the project variable created. Using the fourth argument (optional), it is possible to create an array, specifying its type and size.
static T MakeVariable<T>(QualifiedName 
browseName
, NodeId 
variableTypeId
, NodeId 
dataTypeId
, uint[] 
arrayDimensions
);

Arguments

T
