🐛 Critical Bug Fix: NETSDK1022 Error

Fixed: Package now works with .NET SDK 8.0+ ASP.NET Core projects

Problem

  • Package failed to build in ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and MAUI projects on .NET SDK 8.0+
  • Error: NETSDK1022: Duplicate 'Content' items were included
  • Users were forced to use workarounds to install the package

Solution

  • Changed native DLL item type from <Content> to <None> in package targets file
  • Aligns with .NET ecosystem standards (SkiaSharp, SQLitePCLRaw, etc.)
  • Zero functional changes - all native libraries still copy correctly

Impact

  • ✅ Works with .NET 6, 7, 8, 9
  • ✅ Works with all project types: Console, Web, Blazor, MAUI, Worker Services
  • ✅ No workarounds needed - installs and builds cleanly
  • ✅ Backward compatible

📚 Major Documentation Addition: Symbol Mapping

Added: Comprehensive documentation for resolving InstrumentId → Ticker Symbols

What's New

  • README.md: New Symbol Mapping section with complete examples
  • API_REFERENCE.md: Section 6 with ~300 lines of technical documentation
  • XML Documentation: IntelliSense warnings prevent common mistakes
  • Working Example: LiveSymbolResolution.Example project demonstrates best practices

Problem Solved

Users previously spent 3-4 hours debugging symbol resolution because:

  • No documentation on SymbolMappingMessage usage
  • Common mistake: Using STypeInSymbol instead of STypeOutSymbol
  • This caused all trades to show "ALL_SYMBOLS" instead of actual ticker symbols

Documentation Highlights

  • ⚠️ Critical warnings about STypeIn vs STypeOut property usage
  • 📊 Performance analysis: ~20-50ns per lookup (negligible overhead)
  • 💡 Troubleshooting guide: Solutions for 3 common issues
  • 🎯 Multiple approaches: Manual ConcurrentDictionary (recommended)
  • Tested examples: All code validated with real market data

📦 Installation
