QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hey all,
so one of my models requires a large-ish calibration (e.g. the parameters for my statistical model) - this is on the order of a few megabytes.
Is there any easy way to upload data files into a project & then load then from the running code?
Cheers,
Thomas

After running into the same issue - trying to read data from a file, but System.IO is disallowed - I found this article.
I'm getting an error trying to use WebClient. Has it been decommissioned in the last 5 years?
The error is: "The type or namespace name 'WebClient' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"
I have included "using Newtonsoft.Json;" at the top of my C# file.Â

Hi Chad Crenshaw ,
Like System.IO, System.Net.WebClient is also disallowed for security reasons.
Please use Download method that downloads a URL and returns it as a string.
// If using dropbox remember to add the &dl=1 to trigger a download var file = Download("https://www.dropbox.com?....&dl=1");Â
