TimSpan type not saved with workspace

[onnb1]

hi - I have an indicator I am working on where one of it's inputs is a TimeSpan type (see code below). For some reason which I can't figure out, when I save the workspace, the values I set to this parameter are not saved. When I reopen the workspace, the value returns to the initial/default value (00:00:00).

Other indicator params retain value just fine.

Any ideas?

        private TimeSpan noTradeStart1;

and the property is defined as this:

        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public TimeSpan NoTradeStartTime1
        {
            get { return noTradeStart1; }
            set { noTradeStart1 = value; }
        }

In the indicator window ('ctrl + i' in a chart), when you're configuring or adding the indicator, set the timespan you want to save, right-click on the right-hand side of the window and choose "Set default for 'x'."

thanks. That saves the defaults for the study and it does work. The problem with that is that it means that I have one set of settings for the study and can't store different settings which is what I expect to have with workspaces. Really need the ability to save these values per workspace.

You have to serialize the TimeSpan variables correctly. There are many ways to do so. Search the fora for serialize timespan and you should see quite a few examples to choose from.
