Post From: 32-bit Builds of Sierra Chart to be Discontinued with Newer Versions

I am not really sure how to ask this question as I am not completely certain what needs to be done. Hopefully this makes sense.

I wrote a custom indicator set years ago and compiled it in Visual Studio 2013. It relies on some third party C code functions that I was able to compile into a 32 bit dll at the time. I can not get it to compile with the built in Sierra VC++ compiler (linker errors) so I continue to use VS whenever I make a code alteration. This has served me well but its 32 bit.

I am not a formally trained programmer so I don't know how to convert it to 64 bit. It took me a year to get the first version working. I do not recall how to create a dll from scratch in VS to work with Sierra and the instructions I used for configuring VS for this are no longer in the Sierra documentation. Is this information still available? Hopefully if I start from scratch with a new 64 bit Visual Studio dll project I can get it to build without errors. Just like everyone else, this is crucial to my trading so I appreciate any help.
