How to Access External DLL Functions?

[tazatek]

I have several indicators written in other languages that have been compiled into DLL's .

Does anyone have a sample C# snippet of calling an external DLL from NinjaTrader?

The docs seem to indicate that it works, but is an unsupported feature.

I know there are some coders out there that have a snippet or two that they can share and get me attached to my DLL's.


Thanks

Unfortunately we cannot offer support for it, but any community members feel free to jump in. Alternatively you can also try contacting one of the NinjaScript Consultants here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...injaScript.htm

Unfortunately we cannot offer support for it, but...

I'm curious as to why this phrase is so common with this type of question? This seems to be a very popular question, and the answer appears to be known by your staff and owners, yet remains unsupportable...

From a business perspective I would think this would be the type of information that you would want easily accessible. What am I missing?

Thanks

You are missing nothing. The issue simply is that NinjaScript basically is C#, meaning you could code "anything you'd like". Having said this we - as NinjaTrader support team - need to focus on supporting the features which we properly documented or our limited resources would get draining in no time. And this ultimately would negatively impact >95% of our users who "only" need support on our documented features.

Thanks for your understanding.

I am facing the same problem. Did you by any chance get your hands on a sample that works?
