Compile error

[ghoti]

While trying to compile a custom indicator I get the following error:

Cannot assign to 'DataType' because it is a 'method group'

The error is in a NinjaTrader provided file - @TimeLastTick.cs

Any one know why a possible error (no errors were listed for the custom indicator file) in a custom indicator would cause this error?

By the way, I can't delete any of the indicators I created (most are from the Ninja online tutorials). The files can't be deleted because they are referenced by another file (not true, I didn't reference any of them in another file).

Any suggestions.

There is no @TimeLastTick.cs NT standard indicator. This indicator is NOT provided by NT. If the file name really starts with '@', then this custom indicator "pretends" being a standard indicator, which NO indicator should do. I suggest contacting the author for clarification.

I didn't say it was an indicator.

It's a file in the 6.5\bin\custom\marketanalyzer folder, and I believe NinjaTrader is the author of this file.

Here is the full error msg.

Please post the code line the editor goes to as you click on the error message.

Here is the line of code requested:

DataType = typeof(string);

Hmm .. guess I'm on a loss. I would think that a custom indicator/strategy somehow screws up the NT installation. The only advise I could provide at that time is this:
- please backup your NS file by File->Utilities->Backup
- remove all custom indicators and strategies step by step by Tools->Edit NinjaScript->Indicator/Strategy to see which indicator/strategy caused the issue.

Note: Programming errors in NS file A could cause compile error in any other non-related NS file.
