{{Quickfixn}} Cannot launch an initiator app

[Mark Smith]

Great, I did put a bool in there to allow for an orderly shutdown, and will add that Sleep() now. Thanks a lot!

Mark,

You'll want to at least put a sleep in that loop, e.g.:  Thread.Sleep(2000);

And you might use a bool in your while loop to allow for an orderly shutdown, instead of doing while(true).  But that's up to you, and depends on the rest of your app's architecture.

Ah okay, thank you so much! So if I just want to sit and listen to messages, I should just enter a

while (true)

loop that does nothing?

using (Initiator)
Initiator.Start();

The Initiator's Start() method does not block.  If you allow the main thread to continue outside of that using block, your Initiator is going to be disposed, which is going to attempt to dispose your log files, etc...  hence the error where the Initiator is trying to write to closed logs.

You could enter a while loop (like Examples/TradeClient/TradeClientApp.cs does), or block/wait on a condition, or both.
