Access to class in compiled DLL (addon)

[pjsmith]

Hello,

I have a compiled indicator that also includes an addon. This addon contains a public class. I am trying to access that class from within ninjascript, but get an error on compile stating the type already exists in the indicator.dll

To clarify, I am just trying to declare, in a new indicator source file, like this

private NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOns.myAddon.test test = null;

Intellitext picks it up fine, it all looks OK, and it will compile on a system that has all the original sources. But, if the indicator/addon is a DLL, installed first, this source will not compile and fails with the error stated.

Any idea how to make this work? It seems that if it compiles as 100% source, it should compile with the addon in the DLL, too?

Thanks.

Hi pjsmith, thanks for posting.

It's going to depend on exactly how this DLL is set up. If you can contact the original developer on how to access the custom class then that would be the best place to ask. In my test I added an indicator and an addon in an export DLL and I am able to access the class from the namespace containing the addon and custom class. Unfortunately I can not speculate on what the structure of your custom DLL is.

Best regards,
