StockSharp.Media.Names 5.0.1

StockSharp Media.Names

Media.Names is a lightweight utility library that provides strongly typed access to the names of media assets used throughout the StockSharp ecosystem. It contains a single static class, MediaNames, whose members correspond to the files located in the Media project under the logos directory.

How It Works

The actual constant fields in MediaNames are generated at build time by the MediaNamesGenerator Roslyn source generator. During compilation the generator scans the Media/logos folder for all .png and .svg files and then emits a partial definition of the MediaNames class. Each logo file becomes a public const string field whose value is the file name. This approach ensures that the set of available media names always stays in sync with the images embedded in StockSharp.Media.

Why Use Media.Names?

Referencing image files by string literal is error‑prone. Media.Names eliminates typos by offering compile‑time constants. These constants are commonly used with the MediaIconAttribute to associate an icon with a connector or other component:

[MediaIcon(Media.MediaNames.binance)]
public class BinanceMessageAdapter { /* ... */ }

Because the constants are generated automatically, you never need to edit the file manually when new logos are added.

Adding New Icons

1. Place the .png or .svg file into the Media/logos directory of the repository.
