[Feature request] include .dll files as references in exported .zip

so, when we export indicator that depends on eg. System.Text.Json (or any other .dll that already exists in NT installation folder at ‘/Program Files/NinjaTrader 8/bin/’), can you please make it somewhat possible that we could reference it somehow so we wouldn’t need to add that .dll file manually in exported .zip.

so, during importing, user should get question if they want to import .dll and in case of confirmation, add that “reference” in NinjaTrader references like it happens typically.

First off, there are no NT support staff here, just users helping each other. If you want to submit feature requests, you should send to NT support so their staff can see your request.

There are ways to combine multiple assemblies into a single assembly so that you’re only shipping one assembly instead of multiple ones in the zip file. If you have AgileDotNet, in the post below I explained how you can accomplish this using AgileDotNet. Otherwise, you can search online and find other tools that will allow you to merge assemblies.

Handling user having 3rd party DLL

Here’s the process to combine an NT assembly with 1 or more third party assemblies using Agile.net. First you need to know which options are used by AgileDotNet when it does its magic behind the scenes. To do that, launch AgileDotNet GUI from the Windows Start menu under Secure Team. The default settings for the inline process reside in this file: C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Backup\AgileDotNet.cls From GUI > Open Project and point it to the above file. Make sure not to make an…

Hope this helps.
