F# Library in Silverlight Application?

Question

I have an F# library in the same solution as a Silverlight (C#) project that I'd like to use the library in. When I try to add a reference to the library project, it says I can only add Silverlight references. How can I make this F# library compatible with my Silverlight project?

I'm using Visual Studio 2010.

Answer 1

您需要从“ F＃Silverlight库”而不是“ F＃库”项目模板开始。

Answer 2

The F# compiler automatically generates assembly for some non-standard runtime (such as Silverlight or Compact Framework) if you reference the appropriate (non-standard) version of the mscorlib.dll and FSharp.Core.dll assemblies in your F# project. The Silverlight version of the assemblies can be found here (on my machine):

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Reference Assemblies\\Microsoft\\Framework\\Silverlight\\v3.0\\mscorlib.dll C:\\Programs\\Development\\FSharp-1.9.9.9\\Silverlight\\2.0\\bin\\FSharp.Core.dll

This is a more user-friendly replacement for the --noframework and --cli-root parameters mentioned in the question referenced by Pretzel.
