NT7 to NT8 Indicator conversion

[senderz]

Hi,
There was a great script for converting 7 to 8 script code (LINQpad based),
but that topic is archived for the moment, so I can't post replies there

here it is

http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=79551&page=7

pls move this question to a newer one (if any)

Anyway, here is my question: I've tried the latest edition of that script, but it fails on a source indicator with the following error
Are there any ideas who might know the reason? thanks in advance

Converting c:\Users\xxx\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator\test.cs to C:\Users\xxx\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Indicators\test.cs...


Conversion failed!
