Referencing a Custom Indicator in Visual Studio
02 Jun 2013, 14:02

Hi,


Apologies if this has been asked before but I have not seen it yet:


I have a robot that I want to debug with Visual Studio 2012, I have referenced the calgo.API and calgo.Indicators but I am not sure how to reference the custom indicator that my bot uses as a reference.

 

e.g. //#reference: C:\Users\MyPc\Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Indicators\AdaptiveCG.algo

is used in the program I wrote on cAlgo, how do I reference that in Visual Studio?

 

Thanks.

The Algo file is a zip file. Extract it, inside of it you will find one or more assembly files. rename those files to the corresponding classes inside of them. reference them in Visual Studio.

Hi,


When I tried renaming it, I get the error:

 

A reference to C:\Users\myPc\Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Indicators\AdaptiveCG.dll could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

 

Sorry, I'm new to C# programming.

 

Thanks for the help.

dont just rename the algo file. you should first extract its content.
