Bug with TimeSpan datatype indicator properties

[ScoobyStoo]

Hi guys,

I've found a bug relating to custom indicators with TimeSpan datatypes in NT v7.0.1.

Please follow the steps below to reproduce:

1. Download the attached indicator and add to a new chart.

The indicator will be loaded with the TimeSpan variable set to the default value of 10:10:10.

2. Shutdown NT and when prompted, save the chart.
3. Restart NT

The indicator will be loaded with the timespan variable set to 00:00:00 instead of the default value.

It looks like the mechanism NT7 uses to persist indicator property values between sessions isn't correctly saving and then restoring TimeSpan datatypes.

Give me a shout if you have any questions.

Thanks

Stu

timespan cannot be serialized. this is by default in .Net

search the forum on how to serialize timespan, and you will find workarounds.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that the XmlSerializer doesn't handle TimeSpans. My bad.
