NT7->NT8 quesiton on Draw.xxx API

[senderz]

Hi,
I'm trying to build up a dll for the NT8 addon.
For this I've figured out I need to use the VS that supports .NET verstion 4.5 - please confirm
2) what is the minimal set of referenced dlls I need to add into my dll project
3) what is the correct way to convert Draw.ArrowDown / Draw.ArrowUp in terms of referenced dlls?

I've found out myself that these API are present here - @ChartMarkers.cs
but what is the correct way to use it in my own dll?

Please hint me

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

We have a getting started page surrounding visual studio specifically at the following page:

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/visual_studio_debugging.htm?zoom_highlightsub=visual%2Bstudio

This page outlines how to open the NinjaTrader.Custom project in visual studio. This project can be used as a reference for what may be needed in your own custom projects.

NiinjaTrader 8 supports up to .net 4.5.

There are two samples in the help guide included which can be reviewed for addons also, the second is a full visual studio project with notes surrounding how to use it and build expectations.

Using either the add-on project or using the NinjaScript editor to click the Visual studio button would configure the referecnes/project correctly, we do not have any guide to create a new project and add references by its self. If you wish to create a separate project, you could review the NinjaTrader.Custom project or the full addon assembly sample and its references.

We have some notes for considerations regarding using drawing tools from an assembly at the following link, you would need to use the dynamic type to ensure the objects will work when referenced.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
