Debugging in Visual Studio: breakpoints don't work (video)

[fx.practic]

Hello. Can't let breakpoints work in Visual Studio. Not in indicators, neither in strategies.

I read article about VS-debugging in manual and tried to reproduce all steps on this video:

What can be the reason?

Hello fx.practic,

The steps in the video you have linked appear correct.

I've made a video with some vocal directions as well.

Using Visual Studio is not officially supported by NinjaTrader Support, however, NinjaTrader 8 does attempt to make this easier to use. Using break points is possible.

Can you create a video showing the steps you have taken and the behavior you are receiving?
Below is a publicly available link you can use to create short videos.

Everything work perfect on Your video.
I tried some times to reproduce all steps and get 2 different results.
Below 2 videos - both reproduce different negative result for NT8 and both show positive result for NT7.

Hello fx.practic,

In neither of these videos am I seeing you reload the script. You have opened the Indicator window and clicked OK without making any changes which in NinjaTrader 8 will not cause the indicators to be reloaded and in NinjaTrader 7 will cause the indicators to be reloaded.

Try adding an indicator to a chart. Then modify the code to add a print and compile. Open the Indicator window and click OK. Do you see your print?

Please remake the video and after enabling debugging and attaching the process, right-click the chart -> select Reload NinjaScript.
(Or remove the indicator from the chart, enable debugging and attache the process, and then add the indicator to the chart as I have demonstrated in the video I have provided you.)

Hello, Chelsea.

NinjaScript was reloaded for sure.

I reinstall Visual Studio, deinstal NT 8.0.4.0 and install NT 8.0.5.0
Result same - breakpoints don't work.

Hello fx.practic,

While VisualStudio is not supported by NinjaTrader Support, we do want to find why when following the steps in the video I have provided you, you are receiving different behavior.

Please send an email to platformsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com. In the email please include a link to this forum thread.

Problem was solved with help of NinjaTrader_ChelseaB by installing another version of Visual Studio - Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015.

Thanks a lot to support!
