If you are looking for the information on how to start putting together a C++ program to interface with Sierra Chart, then start here:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL)

If you are specifically asking about using Visual Studio and building your DLL on your local system, then refer to step 19.10 and 19.11 of the following:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Step-By-Step Instructions to Create an Advanced Custom Study Function

Yes it is just too difficult to maintain that page with the changes with Visual Studio and the high degree of complexity of that program.

What we decided to do instead and what we have done, is you can now build using the Visual C++ compiler directly from within Sierra Chart and you can do either a Debug or Release build. We put a lot of work into that.

well, ok, no problem, i connect it to VS by myself.

i havent used it for some time so i forgot it almost. but what bothers me more, is that u deleted some functions from the library that i used in my scrits so when i link to the new version of ac_source, i got a bunch of errors (for example this function sc.GetStudyPersistentDoubleFromChart is gone or renamed, maybe some more. i did not check all my studies, just a few)

it is causing troubles since now i will have to rewrite it or get the old version of ac_source and link with it.

why do u do that? why u just remove or rename something?

any special reason?

No functions were ever deleted. But there are changes to ensure consistency and the best possible logic. Just let us know where there are errors and then we can give you the links to the new function names. That function you mentioned still exists.

hm, ok but that is the point. renaming a function is for a user almost the same as deleting it. i dont know u just renamed it, what i know is i got an error since the name was not found https://prnt.sc/q2zae3. and previsouly, it worked

also, when i try to look it up in the documentation using fulltext, nothing is found. so i dont know if i am completely stupid and dont know how to find a name, or it is just not there. at least the name could stay in the doc saying hey, we renamed this one, use the new "blablabla" name..

Sorry this is gone too far. You should have no trouble at all finding the new name here:

https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSIL_Members_Functions.html

You do not need our help for this. This is unnecessarily taking our time and anyone can see this is so easily found, the new name. It just has "study" at the end.
