QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello Support Team,
I'm trying to save files to quantconnect using Visual Studio as described here: https://www.quantconnect.com/tutorials/open-source/backtesting-from-visual-studio
but I cannot get it to work. Specifically, I can't find any "Save to QuantConnect" option when I right click on a file from the Solution Explorer. I can access the view with the list of the projects and backtests without problems. I am using Visual Studio 16.3.10. Could you please help me?
Thank you!

Hi Liu Jin ,
If you cannot see "Save to QuantConnect", it means that the plugin was not successfully installed.
In the main menu, in the dropdown menu Tools, does QuantConnect appear to you?

Hi Alexandre Catarino ,
Thanks for your answer. Yes, I can see Quantconnect in the Tools dropdown menu, I can login, and I can also see the list of my projects and backtests. But I cannot find any "Save to QuantConnect" option when I right click on a file from the Solution Explorer

Hi Liu Jin ,
I think we are using the same Visual Studio version (Community 2019, 16.3.10).
Coincidently I installed the plugin a couple of days ago and works fine.
Could you please uninstall the plugin, rebuild it (clean+build) with Visual Studio and reinstall it?
Maybe something went wrong in the process...

Unfortunately no luck: uninstalled, rebuilt, and reinstalled, but I still don't see any " Save to QuantConnect" option :(

Hey Liu Jin,
Instead of building the plugin, try using the VS plugin installer file available on this page:
https://www.quantconnect.com/tutorials/open-source/backtesting-from-visual-studio
It is in the Introduction section and is named:
QuantConnect.VisualStudioPlugin_20190711.vsix *
