Need help adding assembly references to Indicator
Hello, I'm new to programming so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.
I need some advice on adding System.Data, System.Data.SqlClient and Dapper packages to my NT8 Indicator.
The usual advice seems to be to compile my own class library and add it to the Custom folder.
However, Windows won't let me download the runtime for .NET 4.8 so I can only target versions 5.0 and higher, which means this route has not worked for me so far.
I have also tried copy-pasting various versions of the .dll's into Custom and adding them as references in the editor, but it seems the versions I am able to get with NuGet aren't compatible with NS.
The compiler seems able to recognize the existence of the .dll files but does not find the types I need from them (IDbConnection & SqlConnection). VS22 has no problems finding them, and the source code is fine otherwise, so I assume I need to use something different in NT8.
Does anyone know what I should be looking for as far as usable libraries go, or how I could target .NET 4.8 in VS22 to create my own? (I know it's not a .NET forum, sorry)
Or is there another approach that I should try?
Any ideas are much appreciated, thanks in advance
