.net programming question openquant/rightedge

B

Batman28

I want to know do you build a programme that lets the user actually code? for example openquant and rightedge provide a panel where you code your strategy in c# or VBA so if want to build a application like this which gives direct code access to the user what do I need?

for any application what software/component do you need to give access to the code for the user? i.e. a code editor which the programme executes

I just want to have an idea of how these programms are put together. is there like a general application out there that lets you easily build them (e.g. eclipse?) because they all look so similar. openquant, rightedge, streambase and others. how do you build these IDEs?


I really appreciate if you can help, thanks

The .NET framework has a redistributable that comes with a compiler. These programs probably just expose a front end to the compiler and then dump the compiler output to a status window the same way visual studio does. Once the output is generated, it's a matter of loading the dynamic library.

... As for how they do those smooth looking GUI snap-ins and code editors, I don't know. Perhaps some Win32 Guru can answer that one, but I'm guessing some slick COM component somewhere.

Yeah, there are analogies to the Eclipse RCP.

For .NET a lot of these IDEs tend to use Quantum Whale Editor.NET (http://qwhale.net/products/editor/) as a starting point to build the IDE around.
