List<T> objects

[nicbizz]

Hiya,

Learning C# here, and came across List<T>, which looks like something I could use. Are we able to create List<T> objects in NT?

Thanks.

Yes, but you'll need to add a using statement.

using System.Collections.Generic

Thanks for the quick reply!

I was planning to use the List object to store a price points throughout the trading day. Now, to call the most recently added data, do I use:

myList [count]

or myList[0]

?

I'm getting a bit confused because, DataSeries objects, which appears to be some kind of collection object, references the most recently added value with index[0].

It does run opposite from a DataSeries object.
So try:
myList[CurrentBar];

That said, you might want to consider using a DataSeries object. it depends on what your needs are. But if you have a list and CalculateOnBarClose set to false. then you can create a much larger list than the number of bars. A DataSeries object will always be the same size.

edit: I might have misunderstood you. If you want the index of the last value try:
myList.Count - 1
or to get the last value in the list try:
myList.Last()
or
myList[myList.Count - 1]
