Question

I am building a project system for Visual Studio MVC web projects with controllers written in F#. It comes along pretty cool. I can build and run the apps, but I have a problem with FSharp Language Service.

In the editor it shows the syntax colorization and diagnostic as it should. With one problem – it does not pick up project references. Even though during build it picks them up and successfully builds the project, on the screen it shows the objects/namespaces from the referenced assemblies/projects as unresolved.

If somebody out here has some knowledge about integrating with F# Language service – please help me make it work

In response to Tomas:

The code for F# controllers is in the project file and as I already mentioned I can compile and run it. Originally we kept the F# code in a separate project and desire to get rid of this extra complexity is what prompted this project. It is not a ASP.MVC though it is Bistro MVC.

Edit

BistroMVC now solves this problem in the latest version of the Bistro Designer which is based on the F# project extender

Answer 1

Can you describe what you’re doing in more detail? Is this a “flavoring”, or a new project system? Are other aspects of the ‘project environment’ picked up? For example, if you have F# code with

#if DEBUG
let x = 3
#else
let x = 4
#endif

does the coloring change when you change the VS solution from Debug to Release?

(Offhand I am unsure if it will be possible to fully integrate the F# language service into a user-defined project system; if you want more of a discussion, you can email [e-mail] and I’ll respond there.)
