NinjaTrader 8.0.23, .Net Framework 4.8 and C# Version

[NinjaTrader_Jim]

Hello cutzpr,

I had meant if you needed to incorporate some code that needs to be compiled with a higher level of C# or .NET you could build an external DLL containing that code in Visual Studio, and then add that DLL as a reference in NinjaTrader [along with any needed dependencies] and use code from the DLL within a NinjaScript built in the NinjaScript Editor.

Love that everyone is on the same page, having .NET Core 3.1 with NinjaTrader would open a lot of possibilities especially with ML.Net.

You can use separation for calculation and data sharing. It's not a big problem.

Confused... Then why is ninjatrader automatically referencing 4.0 framework? I am trying to import a .dll that requires at least 4.7. I remove the old references to 4.0 and add manually the 4.7 but it keeps automatically adding these the older framework.

Hello junkone,

Thanks for your feedback, your vote has been added.

Upgrading the version of C# used requires updates to the some core components in the platform and updating the compiler used in the NinjaScript Editor. In the meantime, DLL's can be built in Visual Studio and you can use those compiled assemblies with NinjaTrader to take advantage of code written in newer versions of C#.

We look forward to assisting.
