    Hi Meraj,

    Thanks for your inquiry. The eSignal Desktop API is not intended nor does eSignal support its use for console applications. The eSignal Desktop API is a component of the eSignal Application and is intended to run as an add-on to the eSignal Applicaiton.

    An example implementation would be one that opens charts within the eSignal application, receives live quotes for a number of symbols (normally less than 50), and performs some analytics on that data. This applicaiton would run on the end-user's machine and run using the end-user's eSignal account credentials.

    The eSignal Desktop API is intended for individual users and not as a server or console application. Attempting to write an application to use the eSignal Desktop API in this fashion would not only be problemmatic at best, but also in violation of eSignal policies.

        Hi Meraj,

        I'm sorry-- the writing of console applications using the eSignal Desktop API is not supported, which is why eSignal doesn't provide a sample for that type of implementation.
