Calling F# from C#
f#c#

hi,

I am still evaluating F# for my use..

It will be helpful if you let me know how can i call a F# script from C# dynamcially..

Here is what i want to do..

I have multiple test cases which i will write in F# as script .. each return me true or false..

I just want to execute all the scripts in one go..

.

If you have a module in F#, with functions defined in it using let, these will be visible from C# as static members on a class with the same name as a module.

1

module MyMod =let myFunction() = true

is "compiled" as:

1

public class MyMod{public static void myFunction(){return true;}}

If by "dyanmically", you mean using reflection, than this should get you started as well: to find all functions in a module, find the type of the module-class, and use GetMethod/GetProperty to find the lets. (there are a few snags there, but that's the principle at least.)Kurt

Hi thankyou for replies...

but that i dont want to do..

I have a number of scritps..

1.fsx

2.fsx

3.fsx

can i run then from my C# code..

something like ..

Call 1.fsx

call 2.fsx

I know i could do something like invoking the Fsi.exe with the filename ... but is there a cleaner way of doing so..

Are you trying to use F# as a scripting language for you C# application? If that is the case then I think one way is to use the FSharp.CodeDom.Compiler to create a 'compiler()'. And then create an assembly in memory from source or file using that and then run the assembly.

This shows you how to do it with C#. The process in F# is exactly the same except that the CreateCompiler() will be from F#.

Don't think so.

look at Luca's Speech. I'm looking into this too in some weeks from now, since most of my program's will remain in C#.

I don't mind seeing some code appearing here to though, but Luca showed the principle.
