Default parameter specifiers not permitted

[stevenev]

Hi, I am adding my methods to UserDefinedMethods (in NS 7, 32 bit).

My methods do not accept optional parameters as arguments, and throw the above error. My research says need to have .NET 4.0+ which I do. Please help.

Reproduction (the bold does not work when '= false' is added'):

public bool myFunction( int BarsBack, bool test = false )
{
//some code
}

EDIT: Looked at HELP tab, it says
.NET/CLR Version: 2.0.50727.8669

Is it running an old version of .NET? If so, can we make it use the latest?

Hello,
NinjaTrader 7 uses the .NET Framework 3.5 as does NinjaScript.
Methods used in .NET 4.0 and above would not be able to be used in NinjaTrader 7. NinjaTrader 8 does support .NET Framework 4.0.

Thank you very much, Cody. Downloaded NT 8, and managed to migrate from NT 7, a large historical database, without any issues. I will check the problem I reported here a bit later, but I am sure it will be ok now.

Regards, steve

I figured out a way to do it in NT7 as a workaround. I can use parameter overloading in methods.
