Visual Studio 2017 & PLStudiesVB2010 compilation failures

Postby bryanzim » 25 Apr 2017

Even though I am not currently using VB items in order to get them to compile properly in Visual Studio 2017 enterprise, I had to do the following:

1. add "Imports PowerLanguage.Indicator" to every indicator
2. add "Imports PowerLanguage.Strategy" to every strategy
3. add "Imports PowerLanguage.Function" to every indicator and strategy as needed

Could these corrections be made for future releases?

I do not share the opinion that this should be a feature request. It is invalid VB.NET code and should be fixed for future releases. The latest release overwrote the changes and will require manual reentry of all indicators, strategies, functions to get proper compilation.

We usually recommend to create, modify and debug VB.NET studies in PowerLanguage .NET Editor only.
However, I've forwarded this request to the engineers, it is currently under review. I'll keep you posted.

For anyone having issues here are the exported VB.NET studies which fix compilation in VS2017 so you don't get hundreds of errors. I reimport these everytime there is a release.
