QuantVSIX
SmartQuant monitoring embedded into Visual Studio.
Overview
QuantVSIX is a Visual Studio (VSIX) extension that embeds SmartQuant monitoring tools directly into the IDE. Run and debug strategies in Visual Studio while seeing status, events, logs, and output in the same workspace.
What QuantVSIX does
- Adds a SmartQuant Tool Window hosting the viewer control.
- Integrates with Visual Studio Output (Show output from: SmartQuant).
- Connects to
QuantController(with optional auto-start when missing locally). - Uses a dedicated
appsettings.jsonfor connection/logging/viewer behavior and app auto-start.
Key capabilities
Tool window viewer
Open via View -> Other Windows -> SmartQuant and monitor the system without leaving the IDE.
Output pane integration
Strategy/app output is routed to Visual Studio Output: Show output from: SmartQuant.
Controller connectivity
Works through QuantController, optionally starting it automatically if required locally.
User-level configuration
A user-profile appsettings.json controls connection, logging, viewer options, and auto-start apps.
Typical workflows
- Strategy development with immediate feedback (run/debug + watch monitor output).
- Fast troubleshooting and iteration without context switching.
- Copilot-assisted analysis of Output logs while coding.
What QuantVSIX delivers
- • SmartQuant monitoring inside Visual Studio
- • Faster diagnostics using Output and the embedded viewer
- • More productive strategy development workflow
