I'm trying to add Twitter capability to an indicator but I'm really stuck. I'm using Twitterizer which seems to be the leading .NET Twitter API.

I've copied their code from the samples:



And I add a reference to the Twitterizer DLL and it's JSON dependancy:



But when my code executes I get an error:

Could not load file or assembly 'Twitterizer2, Version=2.4.0.2028, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxx' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
So now I'm stuck. I posted at the ninja forums but so far no response. There are a few other files that come with it, I can't add references to them because they're not DLL files. I put them in the same directory as the twitterizer DLL.



I think Ninja is not picking these up. I'm not sure where else I can put them.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful. Thanks.

Twitterizer libs, did you recompile them in .Net 3.5 ?
It's .Net 4.0 by default, that will be your next problem .
I work on this last week, and ended by creating a .Net 4.0 console .exe, called asynchronously byt my NT strats.

Thanks Sam I hadn't even thought of that. I don't have .NET experience outside of Ninjascript. This is going to be a tough one.

I don't think I can do asynchronous because I want my indicator to display tweets on the chart window.

Ninja doesn't load libraries in My Documents/Ninjatrader 7 ..... at runtime. You need to put the libs in Ninja binaries folder.

I put them there and got the same result. I'll restart Ninja after the close and see if that makes a difference.

Next task is to find someone with Twitterizer compiled for .NET 3.5 or a volunteer to compile it. The developer told me it should compile for 3.5 without any problems, but I don't have visual studio.

You should try to run process monitor to see what file it's trying to load and why it's not finding it.

Concerning Visual Studio, you can download VS express for free.
