Cannot load xaml files in Addon.

[spirosbatzio]

I got an addon project ready to release it to my customers. I want to build it as dll. Using Visual Studio I have created all the appropriate files (.cs and .xaml files). In my code I reference to the xaml files using:

using (System.IO.Stream assemblyResourceStream = GetManifestResourceStream("Addons.myfolder.myfile.xaml")

When I export the project from NinjaTrader and deliver the zip to another machine the xaml files are not found. I've tried using the build action as "Resource", Embedded Resource" and even "Page".

When using Page i also tried to add manually the xaml files in the zip folder that NinjaTrader created as the guide refers(https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._procedure.htm). Nothing works so far.

Any help about it please?

Hello spirosbatzio,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Below is a link to a working example you can base your script from.

Hello Chelsea and thank you for your prompt response.

I use export as compiled assembly so it produces only the dll file. That means I need to edit the zip file and move the dll and the xaml files within an AddOns/xxx folder?

Hello spirosbatzio,

Yes, you would need to manually add the xaml file. The dll file will already be in the export (unless this is a referenced dll, which would need to be manually added to the root directory).

It works fine!!

Thanks for your help
