Multiple files
f#

I've done very little with multi-file projects, but recently I have a source file that's getting to be about 500 lines with tons of little functions scattered around, so I thought it would be worth it to try to break it into multiple files. I understand the order matters, but I was under the impression that everything in previous files would be visible in later files. When I split some of my type declarations into an earlier file the later files were unable to see them. Is there something special I have to do, does it automatically put code in other files into some sort of automatic namespace or module that I need to use to reference them?

.

Yes, see this thread:

Thanks, I was actually trying all of that but the auto-generated module name was apparently being tricky. I'm still not sure what it auto-generated as, but my file was of the format abc_def.fs where all letters were lowercase. This still seems weird, because all of the following work:

//top of file
module a
//code

//top of file
namespace a
//code

but the following doesn't work

//top of file
module a =
//code

Even though this appears to be the exact syntax that I see in the List module when I view list.fsi. But now that I got it working at least I'm happy
