Best place to define enum?
At the present time I have only one AddOn that I've developed for NinjaTrader, but I may develop others in the future. I'd like to define an enum that my present AddOn will use, and that future AddOns might use. Should I simply define my enum at the top of the .cs file for my present AddOn (say below the "using" declarations), or is there a better location for it? Thank you for any guidance you might provide.Tags: None

Hello NtFan,
Thanks for the post.
This really depends on how you want the final export/s to be. Is this going to be a source code export or compiled, also will this be one export zip file or are you going to release multiple zips?
For a source code export, you can make this a separate .cs file and for each export you would select the enums .cs file as part of the export. During the import it will ask to replace it if it exists.
For a compiled export:
If this is one zip file you can put it at the top of one file in a namespace or make a separate .cs file and put your enum in a specific namespace, all addons you export in that zip can share that enum by using its fully qualified name MyNamespace.MyEnum.
If these are separate zips you will need to put the enum in a separate .cs file and then export that as a compiled reference. You can then delete the source code for the enum and re import it as a compiled reference. When you export each zip file you can select the reference as a requirement in the export dialog. This is required so that each individual zip references and imports only 1 copy of the enum code or makes sure its present. This also requires adding the dll manually to the zip using these steps: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...esOrNativeDlls
I look forward to being of further assistance.
