NT8 C# version

[Zeos6]

Hi,

Can you please tell me which version of C# does NT8 implement? I tried to use some C# 6 features (nameof) and the script did not compile. Thank you.

Hello Zeos6,

From my understanding NinjaTrader 8 uses .NET 4.5 and C# 5.0.

If I find this has been updated to any other version I will update this thread.

Update: 8.0.23.* has been updated to use .NET 4.8 and C# 5.0

Thanks Chelsea. I appreciate it.
C# is now up to version 7 with some nice features. It would be nice if we could take advantage of the new features in NT.

Hello Zeos6,

I've received a tracking ID for your request.

Your request for NinjaTrader to target .NET 4.7 with C# 7 is being tracked with ID #SFT-3124.

Please note it is up to the NinjaTrader Development to decide if and when any request will be implemented.

Thank you for your feedback on this.

Hello,

As of today, which version of .Net and C# should we use when developing a strategy in Visual Studio?. Do you have a template just to start correctly? Thanks!

Hello roblogic,

Use NinjaTrader to generate a new strategy or indicator from the NinjaScript Editor window. Then click the VisualStudio icon on the NinjaScript Editor to load the NinjaTrader project in VisualStudio. Then open the file to begin editing it.

NinjaTrader 8 uses .NET 4.5 and C# 5.0.

See post #2 in this thread.

Add my vote for targeting newer C# language versions - at least C# 7 please.

It would be nice if it were at least C# 6 so we could just use string interpolation and the advanced async capabilities.
