@stocksharp Are you fully operational to be executed via OEC? Just wanted to know whether the API is fully integrated and you guys show the balance as well as the customers trade, P&L, etc.

Thanks,
Matt

There is an OEC connector and a simple sample application I could test it with. If you want and/or are able, send me some read only credentials and I can try it out.

I finally managed to download the compiled version of S#. I am getting more connections other than FIX to create. I have tried Interactive Brokers and IQFeed. Somehow it says connected but I am having difficulty getting it to load a security. I cannot seem to get it to search for a ticker or to provide me with a ticker list.

Also, I found a post which explains why the WPF studio keeps popping up due to licensing issue. Might need to purchase WPF Studio for a valid license. Got it from Configuration for multiple developers and build server - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Hello. This is a general question about using any of the Actipro products--if there's a better place to ask it please let me know. (I don't see a "General" forum?)

I am a new Actipro user, and just trying to figure out how best to set things up. We have a team of seven developers and a build server, so I've bought eight licenses of WPF Studio (eight licenses were cheaper than seven). We use TFS for source control and for automated builds.

In particular I'm wondering:
1. Do we have to run setup to install the Actipro libraries on every developer's computer? Or can I just install it on mine, set up the project's licenses.licx file properly and copy the Actipro assemblies to TFS--next time the other developers do a Get from TFS, should they be all set?

2. In my project, how do I add a reference to an Actipro assembly? Do I have to reference them at c:\program files\actipro\etc.? Or can I copy the Assemblies folder up to where the rest of our code lives and reference it there?

3. What do I do on the build server? Do I need to run setup there too?

Ultimately my confusion comes down to not understanding the licensing. If customers can use the software I write without needing an Actipro license, then what is it that setup is doing?

Hope someone can educate me to clear up my confusion! Any other tips about working with Actipro in this kind of environment would be welcome too.

After some additional testing I've come up with some answers for myself:

1. We must run setup on every computer that builds the project. If it's built on a computer that didn't have WPF Studio installed, there will be compile-time errors about not being able to find the licenses. Once a project is built on a licensed computer, the licenses are embedded and thus it will run anywhere.

2. Setup installs the assemblies in the GAC. The simplest is to reference them from the GAC, especially since (#1) we've had to run setup on every build machine anyway. But it also works fine to reference them in the filesystem using a relative path.

After building a project, if you want to run it on a computer that does not have WPF Studio installed, you'll have to ensure the assemblies are in the same folder as the exe. In our case we have a "redist" folder in TFS where we'll store the assemblies, and when we build our setup it will grab copies of the assemblies from the redist folder in order to install them along with our app on the client's machine.

3. Yes, setup will have to be run on the build server in order for it to embed the licenses.

Hope this helps others down the road trying to figure out how to share Actipro libraries with a team.

@Zephio I see the same list get populated with the site-compiled version but still no connector when in debug mode. Try the IQFeed sample program. Subscribing to a security is a little more intuitive in that sample program.

I have stepped through the debugger and stocksharp studio and hydra are subscribing to securities correctly (most of the time) but not pulling historical correctly as well as I think there is a bug in plotting/filling bars. There are a couple areas I wanted to step through today which are peculiar so I'll post if there is something to them. Hydra seems to have some issues automatically pulling the step values and lot increment. It doesn't happen with every instrument so I'm not sure what exactly is wrong but I can manually modify those settings when I'm connected in Hydra (using IQFeed when this happens).

@mattz Got it, thanks. I'll give it a try this afternoon.

OpenECry connector works. No bars would print but I did get real time prices in a DOM window. The SciChart 3rd party software requires a license which is embedded in the @stocksharp compiled installer on stocksharp's website.

I think I found where StockSharp Studio is failing to load the connectors and created a new issue on github for it
https://github.com/StockSharp/StockSharp/issues/61

Now how to fix.....hmmm, I think I'll save that for another day.

When you start app under debugger in VS the chart will show you warning about license or trial. If you will start it as usual exe app it will works fine.

I hope at the end of that year we will get other vendor for chart's component cause SciChart is absolutelly unstable and unsuitable for trading apps.
