Accessing a custom DLL

[bubblegum]

Hi,

I have a custom DLL that I wish to access from Ninja. The DLL is written in C++.

I have placed the DLL in the ..\bin\custom directory and added the DLL as a reference to the code. But when I compile the indicator code I get a CS0009 error.

What can I do? Is it just that it's written in C++ (not C#)? Is there anything I can do at the compiler end (MS Visual Studio 2007)? I really don't want to have to rewrite my whole DLL in C#.

Thanks for any help.

Hello Bubblegum,


You should be able to use a dll for C++. You might need to add a Using statement to this dll for indicators that need to access it.

Using customDll.dll;

If you continue to have issues, let us know the exact error message you're getting within the compiler.

Thank you for your quick response.

I've fixed it for now. I hadn't included the CLR switch in the compiler. I've done that and now Ninja appears to recognise the DLL.

Thanks. Glad to hear it's working for you now.
