Visual Studio Recommended Setup

[LorneCash]

I'm using NT8 and I'm looking for a guide to setup my development environment in visual studio. I had done some development a few years ago in NT7 and it was pretty difficult. I see now that there's an open in VS button and I did that. Can I actually debug with VS now? Are there any other tips tricks that you can share(links welcome)?

I see many errors and warnings... is this normal or do I need to do something to resolve them?

Errors:
'Serialize' does not contain a definition for 'Brush2String'
'Serialize' does not contain a definition for 'String2Brush'

Warnings:
'FormattedText.FormattedText(string, CultureInfo, FlowDirection, Typeface, double, Brush)' is obsolete: 'Use the PixelsPerDip override'
The type '<Name>' in '<Path>@<Name>.cs' conflicts with the imported type '<Name>' in 'NinjaTrader.Vendor, Version=8.0.3.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Using the type defined in '<Path>@<Name>.cs'.

Visual Studio debugging

I think the ability to debug using Visual Studio is one of the most powerful capabilities of NinjaTrader.
I think NT should put a video in the video library with all the details of developing/compiling/debugging inside Visual Studio platform. There is some instructions in the help file about debugging using VS, but a more comprehensive video would help the entire community. If there are some videos out there already, I would appreciate a link (I could not find).

Thanks.

We requested that all slang naming be removed from NinjaScript and it was. Those are now called BrushToString() and StringToBrush(). Everything else that was named using a "2" in the name has been renamed using "To".

Hello LorneCash, and thank you for your question. A while ago I prepared this video for a customer which many others have found useful, regarding visual studio debugging.
