Add Reference problem

[mrlogik]

Hi,

Last night I successfully added a C# reference of system.web.dll so I could include System.Web.Mail. After working some with my strategy and adding some functional logic I noticed my data feed stopped. I closed down NT, restarted my computer, restarted NT and reconnected to MB (datafeed). The price did not update on the chart, although it did update in the price window (top left of the Control Center).

I went back into my strategy (which was not running) and removed the Reference to system.web.dll. The chart began to update once more.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong with my added reference?

Thanks for you help.

References should not be related to indicators/strategies working or not. Wrong references would result in compiler failures.

[mrlogik]

Agreed.

I just don't understand how / why prior to adding a reference and using it the data feed would work fine, and then after it would stop working. Then, removing the reference it woudl begin to update the chart again, whether an indicator / strategy was on the chart or not made no difference.

I will try again when I get home and get back to you.

Thanks

May be just a recompile made the difference...

[mrlogik]

Not sure.

The code that I added to my strategy comilied and worked properly. It was a simple test strategy that used the Stmp.SendMail function. It sent a mail (I have problems w/ my smtp and the SendMail() NT function) properly.

I had no coding errors, or logical warnings from NT C# compiling.

Trouble with SMTP and/or NS SendMail() method can not be resolved by adding references. You could try changing your SMTP connection at Tools->Options->Misc

I was trying to use it in this manner ...

I was getting an AUTH Failure when trying a test email via my SMTP connection. I will give you more details when I get them.

I see. However, these standard C# issues are beyond the scope of what we can provide support for...

[mrlogik]

I understand.

If the chart not updating problem I had last night exists when this reference is added, is that an NT problem?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Definitely. It would be great if you had a reproducible scenario (using supported "features") so we could research here.

Also: Please check out for unexpected messages.

Great!

Thanks for your help. I'll get back to you if I can reproduce the problem.
