Check Draw objects for null before removing

[itrader46]

Hello

Regarding removing Draw objects drawn by an indicator, when I want to remove an object (i.e. line, arrow, etc), would I have to do the null check before removing it, as in the code below?

if (a > 0 && CurrentBar == RebUpBar[a-1] + 1 && Low[0].ApproxCompare(Low[1]) < 0 && High[0] < High[1] + 5 * TickSize && [COLOR=#B22222]DrawObjects["Rebound Up = " + RebUpBar[a-1]] as DrawingTools.ArrowUp != null[/COLOR])
{
      RemoveDrawObject("Rebound Up = " + RebUpBar[a-1]);
      RebUpBar.RemoveAt(a-1);
      a--;
}

Thank you

Hello itrader46,

The RemoveDrawObject method would not specifically need check but if you are using the objects values prior to removing it you would want to make sure you check the object is not null before trying to use it.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

So you mean that I don't have to do the null check before removing the objects, but I have to do it before using them after drawing (i.e. trigger an action after drawing an arrow)?

Hello itrader46,

I believe you understood correctly, you need to have a null check if you try to access a value the object has, otherwise if you are just removing it that is not needed.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
