How do I work with times? There's no help from MC documentation, I found some builtin indicators that use time but it didn't help me, and online C# documentation for DateTime is so confusing & complex I gave up trying to understand it.

I'm making a simple indicator that plots vertical lines to mark the day session start-time & end-time. MC (and most other software) doesn't have a builtin indicator to do this [lame].

*******************
my code so far:

[Input] public int StartTime {get;set;}
...
StartTime= 800; //8:00 AM, I only need to input hours & minutes
...
if(Bars.Time[0] >= StartTime){ //this won't compile obviously
//I draw a vertical line to mark the start of the day session, I know how to do this part
}
*******************

Can anyone tell me how to code this?
Thanks!

OP here...
I just figured out a solution. Doh. Believe me, I tried to figure it out before, but I just happened to find more info on the DateTime type by chance. Boy, C# stuff can be cryptic/confusing.

*******************
here's my solution:

[Input] public int StartTime {get;set;} //same as before
...
StartTime= 800; //same as before
...
if((Bars.Time[0].Hour * 100)+Bars.Time[0].Minute >= StartTime){ //the solution
//draw a vertical line
}
*******************

So, NEVERMIND!
