Timespan parameters

[sequentur]

I developed an indicator with several timespan parameters, when I close the chart workspace and reload it, the timespan parameters appears with a "00:00:00" value. I must remove and add again the indicator to load the default values or modify the values manually. Others color,string and boolean parameters reload defaults OK.

private TimeSpan tsp = new TimeSpan(8,0,0);

[Description("ts parameter")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public TimeSpan Tsp
   {
      get { return tsp; }
      set { tsp = value; }
   }

Unfortunately this is beyond what we provide support for.

However, here is a hint: .NET can't serialize TimeSpan values. You need to convert to e.g. string value. Please check out the BarColorDown/BarColorDownSerializable properties on the HeikenAshi indicator to see how this works.

In case others are looking for this, the following is the code that needs to be added in order to serialize the parm:

[Browsable(false)]
public string TspSerialize {
get { return tsp.ToString(); }
set { tsp = TimeSpan.Parse(value); }
}

Thanks for sharing aslane.
