LVOOP objects via Network Shared Variables - State-of-the art

Hello,

I'd like to share LVOOP objects between a PC and the cRIO RT via network shared variables (SV).

As far as I know, LVOOP objects cannot be directly sent over SV.

Is there a recommended workaround?

Some of the options I'm aware of:

1) Serialize into string/variant; with following issues:

• RT FIFO option unavailable; what is the practical disadvantage here?
• Variant doesn't work? http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Passing-an-object-through-a-shared-variable/m-p/1212755/highlight/true#M518995

2) Serialize into fixed-size cluster

• Any known disadvantage?

3) Other ways??

Many thanks,

Peter
