Xml.Linq block my Intellisense
f#

VS2008 + F# 1.9.6.2 CTP

Add a ".fsx" script code file and then write like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

 

#light

#r @"C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5\System.Xml.Linq.dll"
open System
open System.Xml.Linq

let str = ""
str.

When you write to "str." position.
You will see that:
there is not Intellisense.
Only one item in ListBox - [<Note>]

The item's message is:
a reference to the type 'System.Xml.Linq.XNode' supposedly in assembly mscorlib was found, but the type could not be found in that assembly.

This issue exist in the normal ".fs" code file of Project

What's that mean?

Hi,
this is a bug in the F# CTP. It is already known and fixed in the latest internal version, so you don't have to report it :-). Unfortunatelly, I have no advice how to workaround this :-(.

I find out:

To avoid this issue. I cannot open System.Xml.Linq. I can open System.Xml only.

And then write like this:

Linq.XDocument.Prase ...

What mean about latest internal version? Why there is not any news about F# last 2 months? Is the FSharp-Team working hard for the VS2010???

Thanks for posting this. It saved me some grief. With F#'s type inference, the workaround isn't painful.

I'm currently doing an internship with the F# team in Microsoft Research, so by the "latest internal version" I mean the version that F# team is working on :-). Regarding other things, I'm really not the right person to comment anything, but you can get a good picture by looking at various F# talks (such as the one from PDC).
