Trying to add Nuget Package for JSON.net,

[ErikY]

Can anyone help me with this?

I read some prior posts about this which pointed to NinjaTrader 7 methodology and that did not work for me.

So far I installed Nuget package
Rebuild Solution
Found DLL in Bin
Moved it to Custom/Bin
Still not working

Tried to import it as add on, not in right format
Compressed it to Zip File
Tried importing again and said invalid

Everything works fine in Visual Studio, I can add references and work with code, however will not comply and giving me could not find missing directive or assmembly reference in NS Editor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I got this working.

For anyone who comes upon this thread, the missing part was going into NinjaScript Editor and on the left drop down under the too menu, right click and select Reference. I had to add the DLL from the Custom/Bin and then it compiled fine

Hello ErikY,

Thanks for your post.

Third-party DLLs would need to be compatible with .NET 4.8, added to the Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom folder along with any dependencies (other needed DLLs) included, and the references would need to be added.

Most frequently it is easiest to make a new Visual Studio project outside of NinjaTrader, add your NuGet reference, and build the project. Next, go look in the output folder and copy all the DLLs that are required for the NuGet reference to the Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom folder. Finally, use the NinjaScript Editor Right-Click -> References menu to reference the DLLs. Now when you compile, the Visual Studio project will be updated to include the reference so it matches NinjaTrader.

If you do this in an external project, make sure you select the right .NET version. This is important so that NuGet restores the correct DLLs that NinjaTrader will end up using.

Nuget relies on the Visual Studio project to restore the DLLs which is not going to work the same way that NInjaScript works. In this case, because the project is always being regenerated by NinjaTrader you would need to use the physical reference in NinjaTrader so that Visual Studio reflects what the platform actually has referenced.
