VI Server Generic Type Duplicate

I was digging in my variant parsing library and stumbled upon 2 type def enumerations with identical strings.

 

VariantType.lvlib:VI Server Generic Type.ctl

NI_Data Type.lvlib:VI Server Generic Type.ctl

 

Anyone care to comment or explain?

Hello jacemdom,

 

May I know where are located since I couldn't find them?

I only see the second one.  LV 2018.

Could it be that one of them came from the "hidden gems" area?  I think that previously these VIs were part of that?  Like until around LV 2015?

Hello jacemdom,

 

I hope you are well and safe!

 

I would like to inform you that the main difference between these two is that they are in separate places.

 

Why? Since they are used in different lvlibs' and for good file management, they are in these two places. So, these two controls (ctl) are the same, just located in a different place.

 

Best Regards,
