Rearranging ToDay(time[0]) to read mm/dd instead of yyyymmdd

[JPMARTINUS]

I just want to label something with the date, and everything just pushes me to the micrsoft page that just doesnt seem relavant. is there not a simple way to get the current date and use it in a label in a couple lines of code?

I have this for code
Draw.Rectangle(this, ("OPENRECTANGLE" + CurrentBar), false, TODAY, OPENHIGH, TODAY.AddHours(LENGTH), OPENLOW, Brushes.DarkGreen, Brushes.DarkGreen, 40, true);
LabeledLine myVLine = DrawLL.LabeledLine(this, ("OPEN PRICE" + CurrentBar), false, TODAY, OPENPRICE, TODAY.AddHours(LENGTH), OPENPRICE, Brushes.White, DashStyleHelper.Dash, 2);
myVLine.DisplayText = ( "NY OPEN " + ToDay(Time[0]));

Shows up like this I just want it to red NY OPEN 08/30
.

Hello JPMARTINUS,

Thanks for your notes.

There are no means available for changing how the ToDay() method returns the date.

From the ToDay() help guide page: "Integer representation of day is format as yyyyMMdd where January 8, 2015 would be 20150108."

See this help guide page for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../nt8/today.htm

You would need to use C# DateTime logic if you want to get the month and day in your script. To learn more about using C# DateTime in a custom NinjaScript, you could do a quick Google search for something like 'Get month and day C#' or 'Get month and day DateTime C#'.

Note that we do not provide C# education in our support at NinjaTrader.
