Lost all my work! Help!

[producerborland]

I made a few strategies using Strategy Builder. I got it 90% of the way there with strategy builder, then I unlocked the code and finished the rest of the strategy logic modifying the NinjaScript in NinjaScript editor. All was well.

Down the road, I ended up having to uninstall NT8 and reinstall it fresh due to some nagging issues I couldn't figure out how to fix. (they were resolved with a fresh install). Prior to uninstalling, I exported my strategies as NinjaScript add-ons thinking this was an appropriate way to back them up for re-import later. I did select the "export as compiled assembly" option, but I did not select the "protect compiled assembly" option. These exported as .zip files.

I reinstalled NT8 and then installed the NinjaScript add-on zip files. The strategies function as intended when loading in strategy window or on a chart. HOWEVER, they do not show up in the NinjaScript Editor anymore. I would like to continue iterating on these strategies, but I don't know how to access my original ninjascript code. The zip files contain a .cs file but it doesnt have the full code. I do not know how to decompile the DLL file.

Is there a way to get my code back into ninjascript editor for further iterations of these strategies?

Hello producerborland,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, unless you have a backup of your prior installation, the original .cs files, the original NT8 Documents folder (from your original installation), or an exported version that was not exported as a compiled assembly, there is nothing supported we can suggest to obtain the open-source code.
