Using ValueTuple C#7 with NinjaTrader 8

[roblogic]

Hello,

As of today NT8 targets C#5, so ValueTuple can not be used out of the box. There is a Nuget Package to provide this functionality but NT8 support can not confirm it will work reliably.

Is there any fellow trader that has managed to use ValueTuple in NT8 working successfully?

Hello roblogic,

Thank you for your post.

As we've discussed that this would be outside the realm of what our support can assist with, I will leave this thread open for others to post any experiences they may have had.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Good reading here.

I have imported the System.ValueTuple.dll ./ found in the folder net47 of the Nuget Package found here:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.ValueTuple/

/. into the Custom directory and added the reference in the editor as per the instructions in post 3 here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/strategy-development/1051336-import-dll

These steps work fine but when I add using System.ValueTuple; it does not compile saying System.ValueTuple is a type not a namespace. Also not including using System.ValueTuple, ValueTuple won't work either in the Editor.

Any idea to get this working?
