Custom Properties

[timcjpfx]

Hi


I'm often building indicators and strategies for people and to help with possible troubleshooting I typically print out the custom properties and some basic chart settings during State.DataLoaded so I have data to replicate their setup.

Possibly more of a C# question, but I was wondering if these properties are held somewhere that I can reference rather than manually typing in the code each time to print them out. I'm interested in the property name and the value that has been entered by the user.

Do you know if that exists or any other tips to help make it more efficient?

Thanks
Tim

Hello Tim,

There would not be anything supported to automatically print out all properties in a script.

This may be possible using Reflection, however note, as using Reflection is not supported the NinjaScript Engineering team would not be able to assist with this.

This thread will remain open for any community members that would like to provide unsupported code.

Below is a link to a google search for similar posts.

As well as another direct forum thread where this is discussed.

Thanks Chelsea

I did some more research online and think I've found a working solution:

using System.Reflection;

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {
                StrategyTemplate s1 = new StrategyTemplate();
                foreach (var prop in s1.GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance))
                {
                    Print(string.Format("{0}={1}", prop.Name, prop.GetValue(s1, null)));
                }​
}

Replace StrategyTemplate with whatever your class (strategy or indicator) is called.

Hopefully, this is useful to someone else..!
