hello all
f#web

Hello Genius`s! I am saddly not as intellectualy equipped as many of the great minds on this forum(alot I have done so far like get f# on the vsshell is thanks to all of you). So I have been trying to get f# running on asp.net. I have it in the Visual 2008 Shell, but I want to make a web site or a web application. Each time I try to load it I get,

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. 
Parser Error Message: The CodeDom provider type "Microsoft.FSharp.Compiler.CodeDom.FSharpAspNetCodeProvider,                       FSharp.Compiler.CodeDom,                       Version=1.9.2.9,                       Culture=neutral,                       PublicKeyToken=a19089b1c74d0809" could not be located.

error source:

1

<compiler lang="F#;f#;fs;fsharp" extension=".fs" type="Microsoft.FSharp.Compiler.CodeDom.FSharpAspNetCodeProvider, ... etc

So, how do I get websites to run with f#? Is their a file pack that will help asp.net handle them?

any help provided will be appreciated,

Thankyou.

Hi,
the first thing to check is whether the version number in the "type" attribute of the "compiler" node in web.config matches with the installed verson of F#. The error message says that it cannot find type with version 1.9.2.9, but if you're using the latest F# version, then you have 1.9.6.2.

I'm sure that some ASP.NET samples will be available eventually :-) though it is quite difficult to fully support ASP.NET in F#, so we'll see whether it will be officially in F# distribution or just some CodePlex project with samples (I think the second option is more realistic).

Let me know whether this helps!

Yes, Thankyou. I have my first page in f# up and running. I changed the name of the version and I have a script up and running. A celebration! I am going to play around with it a little to see what sort of changes I can make. This is really cutting edge stuff. The web crawler is worth looking at also. It has a tendency to go a little nuts however, lol. It is alot cooler then applets, and with f# being functional it could have alot more potential.

Live Long and Prosper
