Import my own .dll library for custom NinjaScript

[zooinek]

Hello,

i have my own .dll library what I wrote and I would like to use that for my custom ninjascript.
Could you please adivce me where I have to copy the library (to which NinjaTrader folder) to make it working?

I tried to copy my .dll to ...\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom
and the library was visible in the "Remove NinjaScript Assembly" window,
but i couldn't use

...
using MyOwnNameSpaceFromMyDLLFile;
...
...
   MyClassFromMyNamespace.myStaticMethod()...

you understand.. i couldnt use it in my custom NinjaScript code because Ninja doesnt recognize the MyOwnNameSpaceFromMyDLLFile namespace.


So what should I do if I want to use my .dll with my classes and methods in any custom NinjaScript strategy?

Thank you

Hello Zooinek,

The location of your file is OK. You will also have to add a reference to the file.

From within a NinjaScript compiler Right Click and select References. Click Add and then browse to the location of your file.

Thank you for your very quick response

And it is possible to do it somehow via any API?
I mean it is possible to do it programmatically?

Because every my product what I offer to visitors of my website need this library.
So I will create any install program wchich will find (I guess via Windows registry) location of NinjaTrader folder, copy the file, and add the reference?

So Could you advice me something please, how to add the reference to NinjaTrader somehow programmaticaly? For example add any special row to the any config.cfg file or something which is possible to do via my custom library installer..
Something what is possible to do programmatically

Thank you

Your installer can be configured to place the dlls in the right directory. Unfortunately it is not possible to add references programatically. Your customers will have to do this step.

Hello,

Welcome to our forums - did you restart NT after those steps so it could be loaded at startup?

Thank you Bertrand
restart helped.

I have another problem. I'm testing my strategy. I need serialize object in the end of backtest. Is there some event in ninjascript? I have tried OnTermination() but it isn't what I need.
Thank you

Thank you

Great - there's unfortunately no property supported for this task, if you know how many bars you test you could work with those to trigger serialization a few bars before the end of the testing.
