F# ibatis
f#.net

Hello all,

I'm an F# newb, so please be gentle... I am trying to reference 2 C# assemblies. One contains very simple BOs, and the other a data layer based on IBATIS, for saving those BOs. I can create and work with the BOs in the first C# assembly fine, but I am unable to build my project if I reference the other C# assembly. I have managed to narrow it down to the actual IBATIS .net assembly downloaded from apache.

[link:ibatis.apache.org]

When I try to compile my simple F# project, with a reference to IBatisNet.DataMapper, I get a message:

"The namespace 'DataMapper' is not defined"

The sole F# file contains the following open statement:

open IBatisNet.DataMapper

So I guess my question is - are there rules for which types of .net assembly can and can't be referenced from an F# project?

I have tried adding references to my F# project to all of the assemblies in the bin folder of my C# assembly which is using IBATIS, but this doesn't change anything.

Any suggestions gratefully received :)

.

Is DataMapper a namespace? Can you share similar C# code that references the assembly and works?

Hi. Yes, DataMapper is a namespace contained in the assembly IBatisNet.DataMapper.dll

The following C# code compiles fine:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Xml;

using IBatisNet.DataMapper;

using IBatisNet.DataMapper.Configuration;

namespace CT.TestApp

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

DomSqlMapBuilder builder = new DomSqlMapBuilder();

ISqlMapper ff = builder.Configure(new XmlDocument());

}

}

}

This F#, with same assemblies referenced, will not compile:

open System

open System.Xml

open IBatisNet.Common

open IBatisNet.DataMapper

open IBatisNet.DataMapper.Configuration

let builder = new DomSqlMapBuilder()

let ff = builder.Configure(new XmlDocument())

Visual studio screen grabs with errors:

Tearing my hair out with this one, but suspecting something simple...

Thanks!

Hi,

I have managed to solve this issue. It was down to the target framework set in the F# project properties. By default it was set to ".Net Framework 4 Client Profile". Changing it to ".Net Framework 4". Results in the solution building

Thanks for your help, hope this thread helps someone....
