Compile Error

[ramckay]

I'm brand new at creating indicators. I used the New Indicator Wizard and pressed the "Generate" button to look at the code. Without changing anything I compiled the default code. It resulted in errors in line 51 which is in the Properties section:

Indicator\rangeStpHi.cs Invalid expression term '['
Indicator\rangeStpHi.cs ) expected
Indicator\rangeStpHi.cs ; expected
Indicator\rangeStpHi.cs Invalid expression term ')'
Indicator\rangeStpHi.cs ; expected

I assumed that the default indicator would compile and then I could start to add the code I wanted. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Um, show us the complete line of code and maybe we can be of more help?

Hi Newshues,

This is the line of code that that the indictor wizard installs and causes a compile error:


[XmlIgnore()] // this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove


Thanks

Hi Newshues,

I think I must have another problem. I tried to compile a couple of the indicators that are are installed with NT and I get the same compile errors. Could my installation to NT be corrupteed?

You'll get the compile error until the bug code is fixed no matter what you compile. Ninja attempts to compile everything changed when you compile.

Perhaps you're missing a } above the line the gives the error.

Hi Newshues,

I know I'll get a compile error for errors. My question is "Is the line of code correct?" My editor is giving me the same error on indicators that NT installed and run OK when I open and try to compile them , same as the example that I posted which is from the boiler plate code that the Indicator Wizard creates when you add nothing to the Wizard and select "Generate."

Thanks,

Hi ramckay, the line of posted code is correct, but since all your files are compiled the error could be present in a different file. Just doublelclick on each error listed and debug them until the files compile.

Here are tips how to effectively debug your NinjaScript studies - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4678

HI Bertrand,

That solved the problem. Didn't even catch the information that a different indicator was causing the problem - duh.

Thanks,

You are welcome, this due to compiling all studies in one assembly for maximum performance...

If you are working on some script just comment all out and it will compile fine still.
