Error cant save workspace

[richbois]

Hi

I have an Indicator that compiles properly and also does what it is supposed to do on the chart

However when I try to save the workspace i get this error
Could not save indicator 'myindicator:' There was an error generating the XML document.

Any ideas what causes that issue??

Thank you in advance

Hello Richbois,

Thank you for writing in.

Without the full code we're unable to test on our end.

If you’d like to send a copy of the indicator you’re running, I can take a look and see if anything jumps out.

To export a NinjaScript from NinjaTrader 8 do the following:
From the Control Center window select Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript...
Click Add>Select the indicator>OK>Export.
Then attach that file you saved; under My Docs>NT8>Bin>Custom>Select the downloaded .zip file.

I look forward to your reply.

Was this indicator converted from NT7 ?
I have had seen this problem several times and each time it was associated with the
Property Grid inputs. A simple thing to try is to comment out the complete properties grid.
If you have public vars declared there that you use in your program you may need to comment them
as well. But if you can compile it and then Save you will know where the problem is. Simply un comment a section at a time.

I did what you said and narrowed it down to these 2

[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Color for Banners", GroupName = "NinjaScriptParameters", Order = 4)]
public Brush vcolor
{
get { return vColor; }
set { vColor = value; }
}


[Browsable(false)]
public string vColorSerialize
{
get { return Serialize.BrushToString(vColor); }
set { vColor = Serialize.StringToBrush(value); }
}

Obviously i dont need both that is a starter but If i keep the 1st only then it wont save if i keep the 2nd then i cant choose a color in the parameters

any idea where the mistake is

thanks in advance

You need both sections.
Try adding [XmlIgnore()]
before the first.

That did the trick

Thank you very much
