```

## Examples

C#:

```csharp
using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo
{
    // This sample indicator shows how to use Server object to get data related to server and connection
    public partial class ServerSample : Indicator
    {
        private TextBlock _isConnectedTextBlock;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            var grid = new Grid(4, 2)
            {
                BackgroundColor = Color.Gold,
                Opacity = 0.6,
                HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center,
                VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center,
            };

            var style = new Style();

            style.Set(ControlProperty.Padding, 5);
            style.Set(ControlProperty.Margin, 5);
            style.Set(ControlProperty.FontWeight, FontWeight.ExtraBold);
            style.Set(ControlProperty.BackgroundColor, Color.Black);

            grid.AddChild(new TextBlock { Text = "Server Info", Style = style, HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center }, 0, 0, 1, 2);

            grid.AddChild(new TextBlock { Text = "Time", Style = style }, 1, 0);
            grid.AddChild(new TextBlock { Text = Server.Time.ToString("o"), Style = style }, 1, 1);

            grid.AddChild(new TextBlock { Text = Server.TimeInUtc.ToString("o"), Style = style }, 2, 1);

            grid.AddChild(new TextBlock { Text = "Is Connected", Style = style }, 3, 0);

            _isConnectedTextBlock = new TextBlock

            Server.Disconnected += () => _isConnectedTextBlock.Text = "No";

            grid.AddChild(_isConnectedTextBlock, 3, 1);

            Chart.AddControl(grid);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
        }
