Why can I reference only code built in cAlgo
26 Jan 2014, 06:55


Guys!

 

I know that you are working on full Visual Studio integration and that is the reason given that we can only reference in cAlgo things that have been built in cAlgo... however I see a potential limitation here and I just want to make sure you don't fall off the bandwagon again.

In making cAlgo Visual Studio friendly in the next version - will it mean that DLLs built in Visual Studio can be referenced directly by algos built in Visual Studio or will I have to go through this stupid process of copying my code and pasting it in cAlgo just to build a .algo file?

What about 3rd party DLLs that we might want to use?

We as developers don't want to feel caged in - we want to be free in what and how we do things - that is what programming is all about and you guys should know that!

Open things up - don't close them down!

Add features don't take things away without good reason!

 

So... I hope me and my fellow algo developers will be blown away by the next cAlgo version enabling instead of disabling us in doing proper algorithmic development!!!

 

Greetings

The problem has been identified and will be fixed as soon as possible. While you are not able to select .dll files in "Add Reference" dialog, please use text references in the header of source code:
