Replied by support on topic Get the Data Type of Method Arguments

Hello.

I am not sure if I understand the question. It seems to me that what you are asking for has nothing to do specifically with enumeration arguments, or with extracting data about the enumerations. The questions is simply how to obtain data types of method arguments, is that correct?

If so, you basically need to study the OPC UA specs and write the necessary code obtain the information. Here are some starting "pointers":

- reference.opcfoundation.org/Core/Part3/v105/docs/5.7
- reference.opcfoundation.org/Core/Part3/v104/docs/8.6

Basically, there is optional (!) InputArguments property, and in it, there is an array of elements describing the method arguments, and inside them, there is the DataType.

I hope this helps.

Get the Data Type of Method Arguments was created by Lars Otte

Hello,

I'm working with an OPC UA server, which uses enumeration data types. The enumerations definitions are dynamic so we cannot hard code them into our software, but retrieve the enum integer values and string values at runtime using EasyUAClient.ReadDataType and the IEasyUAClientComplexData.ResolveDataType. This works fine using variable nodes.

However the server also has methods which contain input arguments with enumerations as data type. Is it possible to retrieve the data type definition with integer and string values of the method argument's data type similar to other enum nodes?

Best regards.
