Array syntax error

[RyanR]

I am trying to use a simple 10 element array. However when I compile the first reference in the on bar update section gives me CS0103 error "The name 'aUpline' does not exist in the current context" I assume it is a simple syntax error but I can't figure out what it might be.
under variables I declare and initialize:

double[] aUpline = {0,1.7,1.3,1,0.7,0.3,0,-0.3,-0.7,-1};


under OnBarUpdate() this is the line giving me the error

Line9ua.Set(bMainLine + aUpLine[9] + TickSize * ZoneWidth);

Not sure if I have to declare, initialize and assign differently. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

c# is case sensitive. You declared "aUpline". but are trying to reference "aUpLine[9]". They are not the same object.

Ryan, with Koganam's helpful hint in mind, can you please try this changed line to access -

Line9ua.Set(bMainLine + aUpline[9] + TickSize * ZoneWidth);

[RyanR]

Thanks koganam and Bertrand, but even after the correction I have the same error

The new line in variables:

double[] aUpLine = {0,1.7,1.3,1,0.7,0.3,0,-0.3,-0.7,-1};

the error line in main code section

Line9ua.Set(bMainLine + aUpLine(9) + TickSize * ZoneWidth);

So if I am clear the fact that I initialized when declared under variables I don't need to do anything in the initialize section?

Thanks
Ryan

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Ryan, please try with this call instead in the variables region (so with class scope), works well in my testing -

private double[] aUpLine = new double [] {0.0, 1.0, 7.0, 1.3, 1.0, 0.7, 0.3, 0.0, -0.3, -0.7, -1.0};

[RyanR]

Still no luck. The code is below. I have tried to separately declare and initialize, combine the two as shown etc. and can not get this to compile. I would really appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks!

Should compile normally Ryan, if you access your array values correctly through the [ ] brackets -

i.e. Line9ua.Set(bMainLine + upLine[9] + TickSize * ZoneWidth);

[RyanR]

Ahh! Fantastic (I had fixed that earlier not sure why I pasted it back)

Appreciate all the help.
