I am not very experienced with C# so before I invest too much time and effort into it I would like to be sure I understand the concept of 'remoting'.

Let's say I want to be able to write my own trade entry system in C#, will remoting allow me to connect to the api to send orders through OEC trader while it is running?

Basically, does remoting allow me to create my own applications in C# and use them with OEC trader?

Thanks

You can suppose that OECAPI and its connections to OEC servers are shared between OEC Trader and your application. Your application can use OECAPI the same way as it would be a standalone application with direct connection to OEC servers. So, yes, remoting will allow you to send orders.

I can't make it work. In the Basic example I change

new OEC.API.OECClient(); to OEC.API.OECClient.CreateInstance(true);

Yet every time I log in it disconnects OEC trader.

Form1.Designer.cs is the only place I can find 'new OEC.API.OECClient();' so I assume that is where the change is to be made?

this.oecClient1 = OEC.API.OECClient.CreateInstance(true);

Please make sure that Trader allows remoting ("File" top menu, "Allow Remoting" option)

Hi Victor, Thanks for replying. I have definitely selected 'Allow Remoting' but it still disconnects. Have I made the change correctly and in the correct place? I am using the BASIC example your site provides.

Good morning,

yes, you made changes correctly. But in the past we saw a trouble wth Excel that didn't allow to use remoting technology inside. Probably, this is the case.

Oops, I'm sorry. I thought you talked about Visual Basic :)

So, please check that versions of API.dll are identical in sample and OEC Trader folders

In the past? How long is "in the past" you mean?
I'm not able get remoting working not under Excel, not under Access at all.
Long time ago I asked you about it and only now it turns out that it does not work "in the past".
You promised a sample of working VBA code in the next release of API.
New API was realeased, but the cart is still there now (voz i nine tam).
Tell please clear - whether remoting is working under VBA or not?
.

"In the past" - I meant your issue with Excel.

My issue? You, in response to estrader,

were due to my case? Assume that this is so. Unfortunately you did not answer my question:

Tell please clear - whether remoting is working under VBA or not?

It doesn't depend on VBA. It depends on host application (Excel in your case).

OK. Let it's Excel blame. Not VBA.
What about Access?

I didn't see Access 13 years. So, I cannot tell anything about it.

Access has the same VBA - same core, same libraries.

I can't get remoting to work. If anyone here has managed to get the Basic example to work I would appreciate some pointers.

Do I still need to enter my U/N and P/W even with a remoted application? If so, I am still getting disconnected by OEC trader.

It's OK, I discovered what I was doing wrong.
