Using an obfuscated dll results in error

[AiTrading]

Hi,

Installing an indicator with an unsigned, obfuscated dll results in error.

Error compiling import assembly: error CS0009: Metadata file 'C:\Users\...\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\xyz.dll' could not be opened -- Invalid public key.

The same happens when this dll is manually copied to NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom.

Metadata file 'C:\Users\...\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\xyz.dll' could not be opened -- Invalid public key.

I had no problems using this dll in the prior release.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello AiTrading,

May I confirm you are exporting from NinjaTrader using release 8.1.3.1?

May I confirm you have Agile.NET 6.9.1.2?

May I have screenshots of the About window from each application to confirm this?

May I confirm there are no enums used in the script?

May I confirm the script is not looping through the DrawingObjects collection?

I am exporting from 8.1.3.1 and installing on 8.1.3.1.

I do not use Agile.NET

There are enums and two of them are global.

Script is not looping through the DrawingObjects collection.

Hello AiTrading,

Using 3rd part software to obfuscate would be out of the realm of what NinjaTrader Support is able to assist with.

When it comes to enums, if these are system enums in the core of NinjaTrader, it's necessary to make a custom enum and then cast to the correct enum type.
