I am a beginner in F# and C#, and I want to convert a C# List to an F# List, and vice versa. The code/commands for doing so changes depending on where is your code (in C# or F#).

Please see my answer below. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thank you.

Answer 1

Inside a C# document, I can use ListModule.OfSeq and .ToList() , like this:

// Currently inside a C# document
var CS_list = new List<int> {1,2,3}; 
var FS_list = ListModule.OfSeq(CS_List); // Microsoft.FSharp.Collections.ListModule
var CS_converted_back = FS_List.ToList();

Inside an F# document, I can use Seq.toList and ResizeArray<_> , like this:

// Currently inside an F# document
let FS_list = [1;2;3]
let CS_list = ResizeArray<int> FS_list // System.Collections.Generic.List
let FS_converted_back = Seq.toList CS_list

If I made any mistakes, or if I miss out something obvious, please let me know.
