Question

When I use the code below, it compiles but the rest of the code doesn’t seem to work. When I take out the Substring part of it, it does.

-Steps

String theDate, theWeekDay;     
if (ToTime(Time[0]) == ToTime(0, 0, 0))         
{
   theDate=ToDay(Time[0]).ToString().Substring(0,3);
   theWeekDay=Time[0].DayOfWeek.ToString().Substring(4,8);
   DrawTextFixed("day",theWeekDay, TextPosition.BottomRight);
   DrawText("day"+Convert.ToString(ToDay(Time[0])),
   theWeekDay+" "+theDate,0, Low[0]-TickSize*20, Color.Blue);
}

You’re going to have to provide more than just this snippet of code. What is the Time object you’re accessing via an indexer? Have you debugged this to see if Time[0] actually has a value? My guess here would be that Time[0] doesn’t return a value that DayOfWeek can work with hence Substring(0,3) is being running against either an empty string or a null value
