System.DayOfWeek Problem

[RezaFx]

Hi,
In my indicator code have below lines:

DateTime item3 = base.Time[1];
int dayOfWeek = item3.DayOfWeek;
DateTime dateTime3 = Time[0];
int num = dateTime3.DayOfWeek;

I got this error:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.DayOfWeek' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Above functions not return integer?
ow to solve that?
Regards,

Hello RezaFx,

This error returns due to the fact that the DayOfWeek Enum is not an int or string.
A proper use of DayOfWeek would be the following:

if(dateTime3.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday)
				Print("It is Monday.");

For information on DayOfWeek please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../dayofweek.htm

For a C# reference on DayOfWeek please visit the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.90).aspx

Please let me know if you have any questions.

If you insist on using an integer, you have to do an explicit cast.

int num = (int)dateTime3.DayOfWeek;

Thanks. Now it works.
