Checking for Empty dataseries values

[richa61416]

I normally program in Visual Basic, however I have one problem when trying to determine if variables are empty in Ninja. In indicators, when a value has not been assigned to a dataseries for and indicator, how can you check to determine that it is blank?

I have tried string length being 0, null, =="" not working . Can you tell me short of changing the code to insert a zero for every blank dataseries, how this can be done.

Thanks.

DataSeries.Reset()

Calling the Reset() method is unique and can be very powerful for custom indicator development. DataSeries objects can hold null values which simply means that you do not want to store a value for the current bar. Mathematically, you can correctly assign a value of zero however if the DataSeries was the primary DataSeries of an indicator whose values would be used for plotting, you may NOT want a zero value plotted. Meaning, you want a zero value for proper calculations but not a zero value for chart visualization. The Reset() method allows you to reset the current bar's DataSeries value to a zero for calculation purposes but NinjaScript would ignore this value when it plotted it on a chart.

To check if a value exists...

bool DataSeries.ContainsValue(int barsAgo)

I should have added that this is for NT 6.5.
