NinjaTrader should not add generated code for abstract classes

[TapeReader]

In NT8, NT is adding the indicator generated code to the end of files that contain abstract classes.

This was not done in NT7.

The attached code is a basic example.

When the generated code is added, the code will not compile because it is trying to create an instance of the abstract class.

We have a library of indicators that uses this mechanism, and can currently not be converted from 7 to 8.

Can NinjaTrader 8 either recognize that a class is abstract and not generate the code?

Another alternative is to allow us to somehow mark the class in the source so that the NinjaTrader generated code is not be added.

Any insights here?

Put abstract classes in the physical AddOns folder.

Hello TapeReader,

As koganam suggested, you can use the Add Ons. Please take a look at the link koganam provided for a thread on this item: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ad.php?t=76774
