ReadMultipleItemValues Function Error

You are passing an array of DAItemValueArguments to ReadMultipleItemValues, which expect an array of DAReadItemArguments.

Since DAItemValueArguments is a structure that is used when writing the values (and not reading them), the code makes no sense. If it had compiled before, which could have been due to some implicit conversion, it was not correct.

Use DAReadItemArguments instead.

Guys,
I have a working function in version 5.23 and I upgraded to the latest version 5.59 and it doesn't work anymore. It seems the parameter type have changed or something for the ReadMultipleItemValues function. Here is my working solution in 5.23:
Public Function SyncReadItems(ByRef Tags As SQTags) As Boolean
 
        Dim argumentArray As DAItemValueArguments() = New DAItemValueArguments(Tags.Count - 1) {}
        Dim handleResult() As ValueResult
 
 
        For i As Integer = 0 To Tags.Count - 1
 
            argumentArray(i) = New DAItemValueArguments(m_MachineName, m_OPCServerName, Tags.Item(i).ClientTagname, Tags.Item(i).Value)
 
        Next i
 
        handleResult = m_opcClient.ReadMultipleItemValues(argumentArray)
 
        For i As Integer = 0 To Tags.Count - 1
 
            If Not handleResult(i).Succeeded Then
                Return False
            End If
 
        Next i
 
        Return True
 
    End Function

m_opcClient.ReadMultipleItemValues(argumentArray) line is complaining about the argumentArray. It says:

'DAItemValueArguments()' cannot be converted to 'DAReadItemArguments()' because 'DAItemValueArguments' is not derived from 'DAReadItemArguments'
