Bars.MarketData.Connection

[blar58]

Always on converting stuff from 7 to 8

private bool DisplayTime()
        {
			if (ChartControl != null
					&& Bars != null
					&& Bars.Count > 0
					&& Bars.MarketData != null
					&& Bars.MarketData.Connection.PriceStatus == Cbi.ConnectionStatus.Connected)
				return true;
			
            return false;
        }
		
		private DateTime RightNow
		{
			get 
			{ 
				DateTime now = (Bars.MarketData.Connection.Options.Provider == Bars.IsInReplayMode ? Bars.MarketData.Connection.Now : DateTime.Now); 

				if (now.Millisecond > 0)
					now = Cbi.Globals.MinDate.AddSeconds((long) System.Math.Floor(now.Subtract(Cbi.Globals.MinDate).TotalSeconds));

				return now;
			}
		}

I have problem with these lines :

Bars.MarketData

Bars.MarketData.Connection.PriceStatus == Cbi.ConnectionStatus.Connected

Bars.MarketData.Connection.Options.Provider

Bars.MarketData.Connection.Now

Cbi.Globals.MinDate

Hello blar58,

Thanks for your post.

The code segment appears to be the same as what is in the BarTimer indicator in NT7. Please check the NT8 BarTimer indicator for the equivalents used.

This might also help some people:

Bars.Instrument.GetMarketDataConnection()

DateTime now = (Bars.IsInReplayMode ? Bars.Instrument.GetMarketDataConnection().Now : DateTime.Now);

Then look for the options in the returned connection object. I'm not really sure of the correct namespace object for the Connection though.
