Consuming C# Code
f#c#

Dear All,

I've noticed that F# can be easily consumed by C# by just declaring the using keyword. However, when doing the opposite (calling C# code from F# code), the C# code must be exported into DLL files before it can be consumed by the F# code. Is it possible to consume C# more directly? Are there any simpler approaches?

Many Thanks!

For further information: I'm currently modeling a domain structure using compositional functions

in F#. Once a tree has been defined, pattern matching is being

used to recognize larger subtrees/blocks for computation. Once these larger blocks are

recognised, calls to some C# code are made for computation and this will

happen to the other larger blocks. The results of the lower blocks will

contribute to the final computation (eventually to the root of the tree

structure).

.

Hi,

I guess there is some missunderstanding.

You can't have C# and F# - codefiles side by side in a single project.

If you want to "consume" F#-code in a C# file you too have to compile the F#-code into a assembly and this is IMHO the common way to use F# (build your clever-code into a Dll and use this in your C#/VB/Whatever - GUI App)

The link you provided does indeed use the "using"-keyword but of course you have to refrence the dll(?) "MyFSharpLibrary" in the C#-project.

Best regards,

Carsten
