How to Get the File Path of a cBot

Mike

If you need to find out dynamically via code the file path for a cTrader indicator or cBot then follow the code below.

 public string GetAlgoFilePath(this Algo algo)
        {
            var documentsPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
            var sourcesFolderPath = Path.Combine(documentsPath, "cAlgo", "Sources");

            var algoFileName = string.Format("{0}.algo", Assembly.GetAssembly(algo.GetType()).GetName().Name);
            var algoFilePath = Path.Combine(sourcesFolderPath, algo is Robot ? "Robots" : "Indicators", algoFileName);

            if (!File.Exists(algoFilePath))
            {
                throw new FileNotFoundException("Algo file not found", algoFilePath);
            }

            return algoFilePath;
        }
