ToTime in 7 vs 6.5

[ATI user]

trying to convert NT7 beta 5 code back to 6.5 and get the attached error with respect to the handling of ToTime

in both NT versions, I declare using 'private int' and in 6.5 do the same comparison in 'if' code...i.e. the exact same code works fine in 6.5 if created/compiled in 6.5

apparently 7 uses SystemInt32 which 6.5 does not

please provide workaround or alternate code...

thanks.

is there a way to get the most recent version of NT from the existing platform without having to re-establish connectivity and so forth?

Would you mind clarifying your question? Thanks in advance.

Looks like SessionStart etc... is a DateTime object?

how do i get the most recent edition of ninjatrader onto my trading account/platform/workspaces?

[ATI user]

yes....my confusion is that my code is the same in both NT versions however 7 flags as an error

i.e. in both cases I just declare as 'private int' and then use in conditional ....6.5 does not mind...7 does

prior to doing this in 6.5 I used to use

private TimeSpan sessionStartTime = new TimeSpan(9, 30, 00)

....which then requires checking hour and min..etc.....not as good/convenient as ....

private int sessionStart = 93000;
....and...
if ( ToTime(Time[0]) >= sessionStart

7 does not allow this...

Not sure what you mean? Would you mind elaborating? Thanks in advance.

I suspect because Laredo is in the wrong thread my question re ToTime is getting missed?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

ATI user,

NT7 has not made any changes in regards to doing ToTime() and comparing it against an int. Are you sure you are debugging the correct lines of code?

[ATI user]

you are right...had nothing to do with ToTime

I assume the problem was the the words 'sessionStart' and sessionEnd' are not keywords in NT7...however they are in 6.5....hence the System32 error
