Serialization Bug

[shawnj]

I finally nailed down this serialization bug. It looks like the NT coders just like using the List<> and ArrayList data structures .

Please add serialization for:

Queue<>, Dictionary<>, SortedDictionary<>, Stack<>, SortedList<>, LinkedList<>


The following indicator generates a serialization error when you try to save it in a workspace:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
{
    public class aaaTestSerialize : Indicator
    {
	//public List<int> FMyThings = new List<int>(); //OK
	//public ArrayList FMyThings = new ArrayList(); //nongenerics  //OK - of course ;)
		
	public Queue<int> FMyThings = new Queue<int>(); //Fails
	//public Queue FMyThings = new Queue();  //nongenerics //Fails
	//public Dictionary<string,int> FMyThings = new Dictionary<string,int>(); //Fails
	//public SortedDictionary<string,int> FMyThings = new SortedDictionary<string,int>(); //Fails
	//public Stack<int> FMyThings = new Stack<int>(); //Fails
	//public SortedList<string,int> FMyThings = new SortedList<string,int>(); //Fails
	//public LinkedList<int> FMyThings = new LinkedList<int>(); //Fails 
		
        protected override void Initialize()
        {} 
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {} 
    }
}

Thanks for your suggestion. We'll add it to the list of future considerations.

with Font variables like input parameters, Serialization doesn't work neither.

Hi,

It cannot serialize multidimensional array as well .

we are using multidimensional arrays all the time.

This is a real problem

Please add it

Hello EmmanuelEv1,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Forums.

I see you have posted in the NinjaTrader 7 section of the Forums.

To clarify, what version of NinjaTrader are you using? This could be found in the Control Center > Help > About window.

Are you using NinjaTrader 7 or NinjaTrader 8 and want to serialize a multi-dimensional array?

We look forward to assisting further.
