refering to another own files.
f#

Hey.

I want to refer to another file in the current file im coding on, like this per example:

AnotherFile.clear();

So i've used: "open AnotherFile" on the top of the current file...

Isn't that enough? In Ocaml i know that works... but for some reason it's not working in F#.

Any ideas why? :)

.

What your doing should work, in fact as your prefixing "clear" with the module name your shouldn't even need the open statement. A couple of point that you might want to look at:

- F# has no "depends" so you need to explicitly order your files, you need to make sure "AnotherFile" appears in the commandline before the file your trying to use it from.
- F# modules are quite different to OCaml modules, using the module keyword you can rename the whole file . It maybe an good idea to use reflector [1] to check what your module is actually called.

Cheers,
Rob

Ok it works now.

I had already read that the file order was important for compiling, but i thought it was the tab order...not the order on the project tree.

Thanks for your answer.
