Post From: Serious issue with custom dll

Hi,

I use a dll with code that I wrote long ago in Visual Studio when Sierra supported that method. It relies on an external dll and so I have never been able to build it internally using the newer method. As a result I have to stay with Visual Studio for any rebuilds.

Something happened today that is concerning. I have not had to update the code in awhile and so I have had several Sierra version updates along the way without rebuilding my VS solution or the dll that I use. Today I needed to update some code and after doing so I tried to rebuild the solution as I always have. The build failed with a very long list of errors from the sierrachart.h file that I #include in my code. The rebuild process seemingly deleted my old dll file but because of the errors will not create a new one, leaving me without all of my work. The dll file is literally not in the Data folder anymore.

I am scared to even reboot the computer, hoping there is some solution even if it is just recovering the old dll file.

Has the sierrachart.h file changed in recent updates that would make it flag many errors in Visual Studio? I will attach a screenshot of a sample of the errors.

Is there a version of SierraChart that I could roll back to that would allow me to recompile my code as before?

Thank you for any help.
