referencing Indicator methods within a class... compilation error in VS

[ellington]

I am developing an add-on that utilises methods contained within the Indicator type.

The class signature is:
public void exampleClss(NinjaScript.Indicators.Indicator PassedIndicator)
{
}
This compiles just fine within NT8, but in VS (with references to NinjaTrader.Core and NinjaTrader.Gui) reports:
'The type or namespace name 'Indicators' does not exist in the namespace 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

What am I missing here?

Hello ellington,

Thank you for the post.

Are you specifically trying to compile in visual studio?

Visual studio can only be used as a text editor in contrast to NinajTrader, if you Saved the file and NinjaTrader compiled that would indicate the code is valid. Visual studio won't have all the correct references/files that NinjaTrader application uses to compile your code.


I look forward to being of further assistance.
