2-D array of strings in "get/set item property"

[jeffyy]

I am porting some code from veristand 2009 to 2010 and I noticed that the get/set item property vi doesn't work the same. Specifically, I can't write or read 2-d strings sent as variants. When I put the 2-d array in a cluster it works fine. Anyone have some information on this?

Howdy JY,

Looks like you are working with a custom device. I am understand what you mean when you can't read or write 2D strings sent as variants. Is it that the Set or Get does not read back the correct value, do you get an error? Do you have a snippet that shows the issue you are seeing?

Here is an example of what I tried to do and what I had to do as a work around.
