C# The beginnings of a bot

[Ruggy]

Starter Prog Queries

Hi Vossie and everyone else.

Thanks for all the help you have given me so far (without knowing it )

Just started to look at C#, (although have been a developer for some time) is the example in the first post still a suitable starting point as it is a couple of years old. It works a treat in VS2010 however I thought I would check.

Also I've read this thread a few times and I was wondering if you have any documentation on how it all fits together (any documentation on what the parts in the solution explorer do and their importance), I've gone down a few blind alleys looking up XML and I think I'm slowly piecing it together. However I think I'm mixing up two ways of doing a bot. Although I have replaced (due to following the API Quickstart pdf).

<value>https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFapi.global.wsdl</value>
<value>https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl</value>

is this correct?

I'm also thinking of turning the UI into a browser based UI (as I'm a web developer and am not that versed in GUI apps), do you know of any problems with doing this?

thanks again for an excellent starter program.

Vs 2010

I am not able to get this running in VS 2010 after making the recommended changes. I keep getting :

AutoMarketLoader: Message:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

AM$ EXCEPTION: AutoMarketLoader: Stack Trace:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Lignite.Engine.AutoMarketLoader.LoadMarkets()

If anyone has a fix, please let me know.

Thanks

I've put this on Github if anyone is interested in carrying on development? I believe the creator has left Betfair.

https://github.com/sjdweb/lignite

It compiles in Visual Studio 2012 too.

Hello, thanks for this great job, just one question, would it be possible to get version for Visual Studio 2010?

Many thanks
