How to Edit a cBot in Visual Studio

Mike

If you plan to use Microsoft Visual Studio to edit and code your cTrader cBots & Indicators then all you need to do os the following:

Open cTrader Automate by clicking on the automate link on the left.
Select your cBot or indicator, and make sure the code is shown in the right-hand window.
Right-click your mouse on the cBot or indicator.
Choose the option edit with visual studio

This should open the Visual Studio IDE ready for editing.

Just FYI.
It seems that the cBots Extension are no longer compatible with the current version of VisualStudio (2022).
The extension doesn't show up in the Market Place in Manage Extensions and if you manually download and try to install it will fail with a warning that the extension is no compatible.
