this recommends VS 2010 but we are in 2017 (2010 cant be found anymore) - is the actual principle "use the latest VS version" and if yes then should not the link below be kept up to date with specific instructions for integrating and using the latest version of VS with SC? https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/VCExpress.php#win32 |

Yes you can use the latest version. We will do some updates to that page, but updating all of that page to matchup with the current Visual C++ version is just too much work. We will get to it one day, but probably not for a long time. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

FYI (no support request here): I also have been struggling with learning coding custom study with the latest Visual Studio Community 2017 edition ;) I started to learn coding from scratch a day ago ;) I am able to build my cpp file using the SC Remote build feature, but I was unable to build the same cpp into dll within MS VS2017. Or oncve, when it did output a dll into SC folder than it was not okay for some reason and it did not show up under custom studies (unlike when I use the remote build which works great). I would also love to have an updated guide (doc or vid) for MS VS 2017 :) I think, some pro user could contribute a Youtube guide for this. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-06-25 10:26:46

User12089, I can help you know with a little guide how to use/setup MS VS 2017 and create your SC study ;) Because I have just figured out how to during the past 24h ;) I did sweat blood as a newbie ;) The best way is to create your cpp files (source code) in MS VS2017 (or any other app), save it into the proper SC folder and build the dll using SC Remote build button! Its automatic and the easiest way. Building the .dll within MS VS2017 is kinda advanced and not fail safe method for newbies like we (I did it though, but expect that you will fail with that hundred times whatever you set). Here you are a link to a step by step setup guide in screenshots, I made it today: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a7w4pv495kplxll/MSVS2017%20steps.zip?dl=0 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-06-25 15:59:20

Steve If your dll did build to the C:\SierraChart\Data folder but not show up in the custom studies list it is most likely you built a x86 version and you are running a SC 64bit version, or vice versa. |
