Does the new RE have any functions for manipulating watch lists? I need to keep a watch list up to date with an index.
At this stage I am looking at writing code to delete/update the XML file and was wondering if there is a faster/easier way?

The beta does not. However, if you look at XmlSerialization, if should be a snap to load. I've attached the class for a watchlistitem and some sample code to load and save the watchlist.// Load StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(fileName);
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(WatchListItem));
rootItem = (WatchListItem)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(streamReader); // Save streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fileName);
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(WatchListItem)); xmlSerializer.Serialize(streamWriter, rootItem);

Thanks that got me on the right track.
Do you have nay functions to add/delete a folder/symbol? i.e one at a time.

| Well, not specifically. Everything exists in a collection and we add/remove from the collection. Usually when a change is made to the collection, it is saved to disk. kaizen (11/27/2008)

| You can add/remove symbols from the folder from wherever you want, but keep in mind, the symbols themselves are only loaded by RightEdge at the start of the system. lksf (12/2/2008)

Are you able to have a look at the attached code and let me know what I am doing wrong?
I can find the folder I want but when I try to add a symbol to it it is not saving the symbol name correctly. Am I going about it all wrong or am I missing something easy?
I ma loading a list of symbol from the txt file to add to the S&P 200 watch list.
Thanks.

The inner while loop is adding the same 'newSymbol' object to each 'newItem' being created. Given this I would expect all of the added items to have a Symbol.Name set to whatever the final input line was from the ReadLine(). If that's the problem you are seeing, you might try moving the 'newSymbol' creation/setup inside your while ReadLine() loop.
HTH,

No it is actually not setting the symbol name at all.
The symbol name gets updated on each loop as it is updated with the input var on each loop. The symbol object is correct but it not being passed to the watch list object correctly.
The problem (as I forgot to mention before) is it sets each symbol to the name of the folder. So when I do a break point and view the contents of the folder there are 200 items with the name of the folder. Where each symbol should be named by the symbol from the text file.

I've been staring at it for a bit and nothing jumps out at me. However, I don't know why you're doing all of that additional initialization. In our code it's simply: WatchListItem item = new WatchListItem(false);
item.Symbol = Symbol;
item.Parent = destItem;
destItem.Folder.Contents.Add(item);
