how to modify System Type ? DefaultFillType.cs

[zweistein]

In my stategy I have added a reference to Linqbridge.dll. This is a library that alows for LINQ expressions in NET 2.0.

The problem is I now have to modify and recompile SampleAtmStrategy.cs and DefaultFillType.cs because these 2 examples have ambigious symbols then:

It says in both .cs files

'Action' is an ambiguous reference between 'System.Action' and 'NinjaTrader.Cbi.Action'


The fix would be pretty easy, replace "Action" with "Cbi.Action" in all places, but the editor will not allow this

How can I proceed?

Best regards
Andreas

P.S. It would be more complicated to change namespace in Linqbridge.dll because it is called from all over the place also from Net code.

Have you tried skipping the editor? Making the changes outside of Ninja?

Hi Mike,

I havn't tried outside the editor. But some time ago I did something similar ( I deleted a sample .cs) and at the next open of NT the NT installation program would jump in and try to fix the "broken" installation. Was a mess because the original setup files (downloaded) where not found on disk and a re-download put the files in the wrong location.

For the moment I can't close NT because I have several stategies and several positions open...

Yes I've experienced that as well, but I think it is only for missing files not altered ones. Make a backup first!

zweistein,

You cannot modify system files. Unfortunately you have introduced something that produces conflicts and we cannot offer you much support for this.

ok and thank you!

Actually Linqbridge needs the VC# 2008 compiler. The NT built in compiler will not do it.

So there can't be a solution to my request.

So to use Linqbridge all the code must sit in an assembly (==dll) that is compiled withVC#2008. From NT stratgies this assembly can then be called.

zweistein,

We will also amend these files to remove ambiguity with System.Action in a future version. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
