Where can I find an example of teh overload functions for the "Createvariable"

Question

I am trying to find a coding example of the overloads for the "CreateVariable" function in Measurement Studio.  The goal is to define a variable type at creation time.
Thanks

Hi JohnnieM,
You can see the three overloads for the CreateVariable method in the help here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372636F-01/mstudiowebhelp/html/3c1ef3de/. I couldn't find an example snippet of code but if you wanted to explicity define the type you need to use CreateVariable(VariableCreationOptions) like this:
string processName = "myProcess";
string variableName = "myVariable";
ServerProcessInfo procInfo = ServerProcess.Create(processName, true);
VariableCreationOptions varOptions = new VariableCreationOptions(processName, variableName);
varOptions.VariableType = typeof(Double); //this is where you specify the type
ServerVariableInfo varInfo = procInfo.CreateVariable(varOptions);
Hope this helps!
