v3.0.18-beta - Critical Packaging Fix + Symbol Mapping Documentation
🐛 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.Exampleproject demonstrates best practices
Problem Solved
Users previously spent 3-4 hours debugging symbol resolution because:
- No documentation on
SymbolMappingMessageusage - Common mistake: Using
STypeInSymbolinstead ofSTypeOutSymbol - 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
