cAlgo and MySQL
27 Feb 2014, 21:34

Hi,

I want to connect cAlgo with MySQL. Searching the internet i found the following link, where is explaining how to connect a C# Application with MySQL Database:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gybWgePuOs

When I try to build the following code, i get this error:

Error CS0012: Referenced indicators or cbots are out of date. Please rebuild them.

Is it any Solution?

thanks in advance.

You need to add a reference to System.Data.dll

Hi,

I tried to connect cAlgo and mysql.

        [Output("Bid", Color = Colors.Red)]

            for (var i = startIndex; i < startIndex + count; i++)

        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)

                return;

            {
                ShiftDataSeries(Ask);
                ShiftDataSeries(Bid);

            FillDataSeries(Ask, Symbol.Ask, index, 50);

Dear lamfete,

You specified reference in the wrong format. Instead of 

reference: MySql.Data.dll

you need to write

//#reference: MySql.Data.dll

However such approach is already obsolete. We can recommend you to read an article Legacy References
