Error compiling, in @Strategy.cs

[jeronymite]

When compiling an indicator, with some methods in the strategy folder, I can eliminate all errors, but still have one error that is perplexing. The error is NinjaTrader.Indicator' is a 'namespace' but is used like a 'type' (CS0118) in @Strategy.cs at line 23, column 12.

Advice most appreciated.

Thanks.

Some additional information.

I use a common code base for NT7 and NT8.

At the start of my indicator, I set an appropriate Compiler Directive as follows:

#undef	NT7				// NinjaTrader 7 Code ONLY
#define	NT8				// NinjaTrader 8 Code ONLY

Then, at the start of the indicator proper I do this:

#if NT7
namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
#endif
#if NT8
namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators
#endif

Similarly, for both variations of the Strategies namespace for NT7 vs NT8.

Now, a certain basic logic says this should be fine, and indeed if I remove all but the relevant NT8 namespace line, it still fails to compile, with the same error. So, I must presume this type of construct is not the issue.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

Thank you for your note.

So I may best answer your question, what is it you are looking to achieve? Have code for both NT7 and NT8 within one .cs file?

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks Alan.

Yes, I have code that is very largely the same in both versions of NT. So, I have compiler directives in the relevant places for the version-specific code.

On NT7, the compilation works perfectly. On NT8, this is the problem.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

Thank you for your response.

Can you send the file attached to a note to platformsupport[at]ninjatrader[dot]com with 'ATTN: Patrick H' in the subject line and a reference to this thread in the body of the email?

You can export your indicator by going to Tools > Export > NinjaScript Add On > Add > select your indicator > OK > Export > name the file 'NTsupport' > Save.

The file will be located under Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\ExportNinjaScript. Please attach the file to your response.

I look forward to assisting you further.
