hello everyone,

working on flags.

I have a List<Flag> myList.
The method of the Class Flag is : Flag(string name, int barNb, DateTime barTime)

the question about it is in the createFlag(List<Flag> flagListName) method.
ultimately, we try to fill the myList.Name accordingly and
the expected output is : myList.Last().Name is : myList, how to get there ?

 

Code

protected override void OnBarUpdate() { if (CrossAbove(Close[1], someDouble, 1) == true) { createFlag(myList); if (myList.Count() > 0 ) { Print("myList.Last().Name is : "+ myList.Last().Name); } } } private void createFlag(List<Flag> flagListName) { // is it possible to convert the property name/code into a string here ? // flagListName .Add(new Flag( somesyntax(flagListName), CurrentBar-1, Time[1])); flagListName .Add(new Flag( "flagListName", CurrentBar-1, Time[1])); // output : myList.Last().Name is : flagListName flagListName .Add(new Flag( flagListName.ToSting(), CurrentBar-1, Time[1])); // output : myList.Last().Name is : System.Collections.Generic.List`1[NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.myIndicator+Flag] flagListName .Add(new Flag( nameof(flagListName), CurrentBar-1, Time[1])); // output : myList.Last().Name is : flagListName }

Thank you.

Hey,

I think you should rephrase your question. I tried to read it three times and didn't get what you want / what the problem is.

Cheers,

Hey, Thanks Eubie,

Wow I am so sorry for the lack of clarity, and the wrong choice of words, here is how I would rephrase it :

Is it possible to convert the method parameter (flagListName) into a string, inside the createFlag() method ? In order to make it a string that will be added to myList as the name of the flag.

something that may look like this :
flagListName .Add(new Flag( somesyntax(flagListName), CurrentBar-1, Time[1]));

 

Code

protected override void OnBarUpdate() { if (CrossAbove(Close[1], someDouble, 1) == true) { createFlag(myList); Print(myList.Last().Name); } } private void createFlag(List<Flag> flagListName) { flagListName .Add(new Flag( somesyntax(flagListName), CurrentBar-1, Time[1])); }

ultimately, the output for this print would be :
myList

One way to go around this could be to add a string parameter as follow.
I just wondered if the conversion could be done inside the method. And evaluate if it would be worth it.

 

Code

protected override void OnBarUpdate() { if (CrossAbove(Close[1], someDouble, 1) == true) { createFlag(myList, "myList"); Print(myList.Last().Name); } } private void createFlag(List<Flag> flagList, string flagListName) { flagList.Add(new Flag(flagListName, CurrentBar - 1, Time[1])); }
