The first error would indicate you have two programs trying to access a file at the same time. The way the code works is it opens a file in OnBarUpdate() and doesn't close it until OnTermination() ie you can not access the file until the Strategy is disabled.
It also looks like you are trying your own naming convention for the files. You might want to try the defaults first (UseDefaultFilename = true, in which case the Filename variable is not used by the code). It should look like "ES_12_10_5_Minute." Once it works with the defaults you can then play around to make it suit your needs.
Note I use this on NT7 and haven't tried it on 6.5. Also note declaration "using System.IO" needs to be up top.
EDIT: Just noted you referred to that code as an "Indicator." It is a Strategy. There may still be some older code of mine floating around this site as this was originally started as an Indicator. Suggest you use the one I posted, which is v3.10 released 22.2.2010.
Yes, I have used the indicator ExportChartData.cs and applied it to my chart.
There are not two programs trying to access the file. I have only applied the indicator and nothing else. I have not tried any own naming conventions, but this might be due to country settings. So far there are two error messages pointing to a problem with the code.
Prior to this I had tried the stategy, but it did not run either.
Sorry to hear that FT. I've got it running on three NT7 beta 21 installs (2 Win7/1 Server 2008R2) without any issue. If it gets figured out what the problem is I'll update my code to make it more robust.
These two tasks, exporting datas and opening a DDE connection between Excel and the charting app are so easy in Metatrader. Why must this be so complex in a more modern application ?
I fixed a bug in my ExportData code that would throw an exception if there was a space in the path name (such as "My Documents"), and added a Try/Catch block around the StreamWriter functions.
If anyone finds this using the "Search" function please note the ExportData code has been updated in the Downloads section. The URL is referenced in post #3.
