I'm currently only getting "index" contracts returned through this function. How do I get other contracts (specifically OJ) to be returned.

btw - I'm connecting to the production server.

Thanks,

the code in the advanced sample is showing only indices contracts by design.

if you look in the contracts.cs file line 23, you see following code:
m_Contracts = OECClient.Global.ContractGroups["Indices"].Contracts.Values;

to get "OJ" contracts, you can use OECClient.Global.BaseContracts["OJ"].Contracts collection.

you can also refer to global contract collection OECClient.Global.Contracts - but make sure you not trying to display it in the combo box or other UI element, because the number of contracts there could be 50000 (with spreads) or even 200000 (with options).

Also I have to warn you not to use sample code in production environment - we have a dedicated server (api.openecry.com) for development.

perfect. thanks Serge. I actually found that line right after I made the post. I have it working fine now.
And thanks for the tip on the dev server. I've been doing lots of testing and just started connecting to live today.

Thanks again,
