NinjaTrader.Core.CoreEnumConverter not found

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification and sample.

I will review this, once I have further details on this I will reply back here.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Sorry, maybe I should not have used the word "serialization".

If you use XamlWriter with a Brush, the process is ok.However, if you use a Stroke, then an exception is rised.

I am not using properties. Standard objects only.

Attach an indicator to test it.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I wanted to check, are you currently ignoring the non-serializable types such as Brush and Stroke and making string properties for these to serialize within your objects properties?

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/index.html?working_with_brushes.htm#Userdefinedbrushes

If not, I would suggest trying to comment out all of the properties and make a simple string property, then check that the serialize method works as expected. You could then use this process and uncomment one property at a time to locate what is throwing the error specifically.

If you have a sample set up you could provide to the forum I could also try running that sample to see what I can locate.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

It definitely looks like the bug is in the NinjaTrader.Gui.Stroke class.

This code rises the exception:

            Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog dlg = new Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog();
            Nullable<Boolean> result = dlg.ShowDialog();
            if (result.Value)
            {
                try
                {
                    using (Stream stream = File.Create(dlg.FileName))
                    {
                        Object o = new Stroke(Brushes.Red);
                        XamlWriter.Save( o, stream );
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    NinjaTrader.Code.Output.Process(ex.Message + Environment.NewLine + ex.StackTrace, PrintTo.OutputTab1);
                }
            }

(If instead Stroke class you use Brush or SimpleFont classes, the code works fine).

Hello,

I am getting this exception when I try to serialize an object. The object has properties of type Brush, Stroke and SimpleFont.

I use the XamlWrite.Save( myobject ) method to save the object.

I am not using any EnumConverter in my class.

The Stroke class has one enum named NinjaTrader.Gui.DashStyleHelper. Maybe the bug is there.

Thanks.
