Visual Studio 2022 build issue - missing file or assembly Core.AlgoFormat
20 Mar 2025, 16:41


Hi,

Does anyone have any idea about this visual studio error below… I've just started getting it this afternoon and seems to coincide with the update for the desktop app.

So far I've tried reinstalling cTrader.Automate nuget packages to all projects but no luck.

Any help much appreciated!

Second this,

I can't build with any .NET SDK or IDE; I can only use the embedded inside cTrader, which is inconvenient for big projects.

trying with .NET 6.0.201 shows this error as well

Would appreciate a fix ASAP
Thanks

I'm having the same issue.

I'll also post the issue on the support site.

Me too. The embedded Compiler is no option for me (because of complex proj with additional nuget Packages)

I'll also post the issue on the support site.

I also noticed that after the update the bars on the chart became blended and there is no space between them.

Same thing here. A temporary workaround is going to Settings -> Algo -> Select Compiler -> Embedded, but it is not the full .NET 6.0.*
