How to use a bool as parameter
05 Mar 2013, 18:37

I tried this :

        [Parameter("Use Trade Time ?", DefaultValue = false)]
        public bool UseTradeTime { get; set; }

I got a succesfull compilation but an error message too :

"Unable to load assembly : Unsupported parameter type 'boolean' "

Hi,

from what I have read I don't think you can use a boolean as a parameter.

To solve this I use an integer and set it to 1 or 0 (to represent true and false).

I would rather use a boolean as the user would be restricted as to what input they can enter, and the programming is neater. But as the user is me and I know not to enter a different value it works.

Exactly what i've done, but i made it simplier 0 for false and everything else for true, so i don't risk to have problems with users who choose 2.

Actually you can set a MaxValue= 1 and a MinValue = 0 in your paramater attribute

Boolean type parameters are supported in last release:

        [Parameter("Use Stop Loss", DefaultValue = true)]
        public bool UseStopLoss { get; set; }
