Question

As the title says, then I want to access x. from a let instead of a member.

The following works:

type UploadController() =
    inherit Controller()

    member x.UploadPath 
        with get() = x.Server.MapPath "~/Uploads" 

But this:

type UploadController() =
    inherit Controller()

    let uploadPath = x.Server.MapPath "~/Uploads" 

Throws a compiler error:

The namespace or module ‘x’ is not
defined

Mission impossible?

Answer 1

You can define a reference like this:

type UploadController () as x =
    inherit Controller ()

    let uploadPath = x.Server.MapPath "~/Uploads"
