Could not load file or assembly MySql.Data.EntityFramework,

[Oreshnik]

I am getting the following error in the output window when I try to execute my Ninjascript strategy:

Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Data.EntityFramework, Version=9.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The MySql.Data.EntityFramework and MySql.Data packages are part of a custom lightweight DLL I made, I referenced both the custom .DLL and these packages via the ninjascript editor, and both are compatible with the .NET 4.8 framework. Still getting the error though...

I have tried the following things:

1. Cleaned and rebuild the custom library.
2. Removed and then added the references
3. Removed the libraries from the Tools -> 'Remove Ninjascript Assembly' menu.
4. Reinstalled and repaired Ninjascript
5. Tested the custom library in a console app and it works just fine.

The custom .DLL is located in the NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom folder by the way.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Oreshnik,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

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.

Ensuring the dll targets .NET 4.8 is important, so it's good you've done this.

This thread will remain open for any community members that would like to provide insight.
