Sterling API Developer Thread

Got 'er done!

...but no hair left

 

New user to the site, and was hoping to learn about Sterling's API. I just wrote this code to get the date from the Sterling server. But isn't returning anything (technically, it is returning "")

Anyone have an idea what I might be doing incorrectly?
Thanks

Private Sub GetTodayDate()
Dim STIApp As SterlingLib.STIApp
With STIApp
TodayDateString = GetServerTime
End With
End Sub

 

You have to instanciate your StiApp Object before using it. Try this :

Private Sub GetTodayDate()

Dim STIApp As SterlingLib.STIApp
Set STIApp = New STIApp

TodayDateString = STIApp.GetServerTime

End Sub

 

Hi Nightrate,

thanks,

Hi just a quick question for your pros out there. I am using vb2010 trying to get a constant update of bid and ask price of a stock. Please advise on the code structure Thank you

 

if you are familiar w/ programming sterling in vb.net. PM ME. I will pay you for your help

Thanks

 

Send PM to you.

 

With sterling I'm programming in vb.net. I notice is says that you really should be programming in VB6, as there is some compatibility issue.


anyone have luck w/ this in vb.net

Thanks

 

if you use sterling's sample code it works just fine in .net

 

My understanding is the quotes will be limited to about 1500/sec in .net. I think there's some info on this at the beginning of this thread. FWIW, all my code is in .net, it runs fine.
