Method Return Value

This method does not return a value.

Syntax

Share(string serviceName, string message)
Share(string serviceName, string message, object[] args)
Share(string serviceName, string message, string screenshotPath)
Share(string serviceName, string message, string screenshotPath, object[] args)

Parameters

serviceName	A string value representing the share service to be used
message	A string value representing the text body sent to the social network or other Share providers. Note: The message is what appears in the text box of the Share window
screenshotPath	Optional string path to screenshot or other images sent to the social network or other Share providers
args	A generic object[] array used to designate additional information sent to the share service

Tips:

1.The "args" parameter differs for each share service used. If you are using a custom developed share adapter, you need to work with the developer of that adapter to understand what the "args" parameter represents for that adapter.

2.For the default NinjaTrader share adapters, the "args" array represents the following:

▪Mail share service:

•args[0] = A string representing the email "To" field,

•args[1] = A string representing the email "Subject" field

▪StockTwits share service:

•args[0] = An enum representing the "StockTwitsSentiment" parameter

Examples


// sending a screen shot to Twitter Share("Twitter", "Check out this setup!", @"C:\MyImages\chart03.PNG"); // using "args" as the Mail "To" and "Subject" parameters Share("Gmail", "Test Message", new object[]{ "[email protected]", "Test Subject Line" }); // using "args" as the StockTwit "Sentiment" parameter Share("StockTwits", "Test Message", new object[]{ ShareServices.StockTwits.Sentiment.Bearish });

// sending a screen shot to Twitter
Share("Twitter", "Check out this setup!", @"C:\MyImages\chart03.PNG");

// using "args" as the Mail "To" and "Subject" parameters
Share("Gmail", "Test Message", new object[]{ "[email protected]", "Test Subject Line" });

// using "args" as the StockTwit "Sentiment" parameter
