Caching Old DLL Issue

Hi - I'm building a custom study and lately I've ran into issues where even after removing the old study -> compiling it -> add custom study -> adding the updated study -> my changes will not go through. I've historically used this process without issue, but now my changes aren't going through. I'm certain because to test it nowhere in my updated code does it say to perform a particular function yet (after removing it entirely), it's doing that. I've also created an entirely new .cpp file and the changes finally went through.

I am hoping this could be fixed so I do not need to create a new .cpp file anytime I make a change to files, (I don't see an option to easily delete the DLL file from SC unless I close it).

Thank you

It is impossible for us to know what the issue is, without going through the procedure, in detail with you which is outside the scope of our support for something like this.

You mentioned deleting a DLL file, and yes we would recommend deleting the existing DLL file containing the custom studies. And if you cannot delete it, exit from Sierra Chart. Then generate a new one from the modified source code.

You obviously have to modify the CPP file anytime you make changes. So we do not understand this:

You have to modify the CPP file and generate a new DLL file.


And there is nothing for us to fix. We are certain about that.
