Error CS0246 "the type or name could not be found"

[evanp90]

Hello,

The basics of my code are:

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies.EvanStrategies
{
public class fading1 : Strategy
{
public NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.TrendZigZagUTG4 zig;

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
zig = TrendZigZagUTG4(true, spansize, 3, 10);
}
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

Print(zig.swings.Count); --- This works fine ----------

foreach(swing b in zig.swings) {Print(b);} --- This throws an error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'swing' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or assembly reference?)

}





The indicator looks like this:

public class TrendZigZagUTG4 : Indicator
{
public int dir, pb1, pb2, pb3;
public double pv1, pv2, pv3;
private double hival, loval, price;
private Brush plotcolor;
private int plotwidth;
private bool drawlines, drawdots;



public List <swing> swings = new List<swing>();


public class swing

{
public int bar { get; set; }
public double price { get; set; }

}


protected override void OnStateChange()
{



Any ideas what's wrong with my code?

Here is the indicator file. In my startegy I'm just trying to do the following:

foreach(swing b in zig.swings) {Print(b);}


But i get error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'swing' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or assembly reference?)

Hi evanp90, thanks for your question.

If the swing class is not available from the script you are calling the TrendZigZag from you will get a compile error. Consider defining the swing class outside of the indicator class e.g.

    public class swing{//definintion}

    public class TrendZigZagUTG4 : Indicator
    { ...}

That will make swing available to any script that belongs to NinjaScript.Indicators.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
