Has anyone used System.Diagnostics.Metrics to instrument telemetrics?

[junkone]

I am looking at the documentation for System.Diagnostics.Metrics; and it states that it works on .Net 4.6.1

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/diagnostics/metrics-instrumentation

But when i apply it on a sample ninjatrader indicator, it cannot find the package. I am using NT ver 8.1.1.5 as the newer versions were compiling too long and i gave up on the newer versions. However i expect NT compiler to find this as its supposed to be .net 4.8 compatible.
Has anyone tried this before?

Hello junkone,

Thanks for your post.

NinjaTrader uses .NET 4.8 for developing custom NinjaScript AddOns.

Support for 3rd party assemblies is limited. Our team is able to assist with adding the dll and a reference to the dll, however we cannot assist with its use, or with any errors or unexpected behavior that may occur.

With that said, we are happy to forward any insightful information we happen to be aware of.

Below is a link to the help guide on referencing a 3rd party assembly dll.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/using_3rd_party_indicators.htm

Any referenced managed assembly will need to target .NET Framework 4.8 or lower. Other versions of .NET will not work, such as .NET Core or .NET 5.

Alternatively, unmanaged assemblies can be P/Invoked.

Here is a forum thread about Using Nuget with Visual Studio to compile dlls for use in NinjaTrader which you might find helpful:

That said, using System.Diagnostics.Metrics would be considered C# education and goes outside the scope of support we would be able to provide you with in the NinjaTrader Support department.

The forum thread will be open for other community members to share their insights on the topic.
