Hello.
It seems to me that you can simply do
client.SubscribeMultipleItems(dAItemGroupArguments .ToArray());
Is that what you were looking for?

Hello

My console app has following arguments:
        public string ip_address = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[1];
        public string item_no = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[2];        
        public string item_1 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[3];
        public string item_2 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[4];
        public string item_3 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[5];
        public string item_4 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[6];
        public string item_5 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()7];
        public string item_6 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[8];
        public string item_7 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[9];
        public string item_8 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[10];
        public string item_9 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[11];
        public string item_10 = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[12];

Due to the item_no parameter I tried to define a list of items:
         List<DAItemGroupArguments> dAItemGroupArguments = new List<DAItemGroupArguments>();
 
         public void item_list()
         {
           for(int i = 0; i < Convert.ToInt16(item_no); i++)
            {
                dAItemGroupArguments.Add(new DAItemGroupArguments(ip, server, Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[i+3], 1000, null));
            }
         }

So I should use always this list (or something similar) in the client.SubscribeMultipleItems(...) expression.

Hello.

It's easy to do. You just need to convert what you have into the form expected by the method. But I cannot answer it without knowing in which form (object types, their properties etc.) you get your items. Please share a piece of code illustrating that.

How to subscribe to multiple OPC DA items, when amount of variables is changing? was created by mut9bu
Hello

In my C# .net framework 4.7.2 app I am subscribing to multiple OPC DA items. But my app is called from a parent app with arguments. That means, the number of items and the item definitions come from the argument parameters and changing each time.

Normally I subscribe to 3 items with following code. How should I modify my code, so that I can sometimes for example subscribe to 2 items sometimes to 8 items , depending on the argument parameters? With other words I would like to use a List of items for the client.SubscribeMultipleItems expression. But couldn't find the correct way for this.
using (var client = new EasyDAClient())
            {
                client.ItemChanged += client_Main1_ItemChanged;
                client.SubscribeMultipleItems(
                    new[] {
                            new DAItemGroupArguments(ip, "OPC.IwSCP.1",item_def1, 1000, null),
                            new DAItemGroupArguments(ip, "OPC.IwSCP.1",item_def2, 1000, null),
                            new DAItemGroupArguments(ip, "OPC.IwSCP.1",item_def3, 1000, null),
                        }                    
                    );
            }
 
public void client_Main1_ItemChanged(object sender, EasyDAItemChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Succeeded)
            {
                item_value = e.Vtq.ToString();
            }
            //
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"{e.ErrorMessageBrief}");
            }
         }
