ATI client methods return empty string

[Derjan]

Hello,

using the C# NinjaTrader.Client.dll:

Sometimes, the client methods, like client.Orders("SIM101") or client.Strategies("SIM101") return an empty string, although the client is Connected and the client actually has the infos in its privtae HashTable ("client.keys").

So I made a workaround: If the "official" method return empty string , I try to get the value from the HashTable using the GetString method. It works, but that's not how it should be I guess:

string s = client.Orders(account);

if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s))
{
s = client.GetString("Orders|");
}

So why does this happen at all ?

Hi Derjan, thanks for posting.

We will not be able to debug your C# application. I did make a successfult connection to the server and modified the example here (NinjaTraderClient/MainWindow.xaml.cs) to print out the orders to the Visual Studio output Window (modified file attached). Most likely what is happening is there is no connection, confirm that with:

Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} | connect: {1}", DateTime.Now, connect.ToString())); //connect should be 0
Console.WriteLine("Client Orders (Sim101)" + myClient.Orders("Sim101").ToString()); //added this line @ line # 78 to confirm

Best regards,
