Loading DLL error...

[funk101]

I've created a .dll file which is a UserControl. I've added the reference to NT in code editor. I've added the "using UserControlDLL;" to the code. OnStartUp() it instantiates and *should* pop up a form. However, I get this message when nothing happens:

1/11/2013 12:39:48 PM Default Error on calling 'OnStartUp' method for indicator 'MyForm': Could not load file or assembly 'UserControlDLL, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Please advise.
Thanks

Hello funk101,
Thanks for your note.
Please make sure your custom assembly targets .Net Framework 3.5. If it targets .Net Framework 4 or above then NinjaTrader will be unable to reference it.

To assist you further may I know which .Net Framework does your assembly targets? Is build via VS 2010 or later?

.NET Framework 4 Client Profile, and VS 2010

Hello funk101,
Please make sure to target to the .net framework 3.5 from the projects property as shown in the attached screenshot.

Yeah, bummer, still not happening. I have the very basic of code. Just a dll referenced n Intellisense, a "using" statement and an obj.Show() on startup. I get no errors when compiling but that error message when I reload the ninjascript. Same error message as below. My target's are .net 3.5.

So, when using .dlls in NT every time you make a change do the .dll, and rebuild, you have to shtudown NT and reload in order to see changes? Is there anyway around this?

This is correct. You will need to restart NinjaTrader in order for it to make the call the reload in DLL files in the Documents folder.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hello Praveena,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

Can you provide further details on the changes made to the .dll file and where these changes are expected to be seen?

Please also advise if you are using NinjaTrader 7 or 8 and if this is your own custom .dll file.

I look forward to your response.
