Installing Windows SDK breaks F# Visual Studio integration
Beware! If you install the Windows SDK – perhaps to get access to the interesting looking WPF performance tools – you’ll find that it hoses your F# Visual Studio integration. I found that it causes intellisense tooltips to stop appearing, and the integrated F# interactive to crash Visual Studio. Both of these issues are a [...]
Implementing INotifyPropertyChanged with F#
I like F# for a lot of things, but, man, is it a pain to support events. In C# it’s trivial to implement an interface like INotifyPropertyChanged consisting only of an event, but in F# you have to jump through some hoops to map native functions to delegates/events. F# is generally much terser than C# [...]
Visual Studio Toggle Brackets Macro
After using a F# heavily for a while, I often found myself wanting to add brackets (or rather, parentheses) around some text. This is normally when adding a type specification to an argument in order to be able to use dot notation, e.g. going from:
let typeName t = t.Name
which causes “error FS0072: Lookup on object [...]
F# CTP and Visual Studio integration

Beware cached IDispatch
I’ve kinda given it away there with the title, but we had an interesting set of symptoms exhibited the other day while trying to call a function in an Excel workbook via F#. It appeared that the function being called would fail depending on what had been called previously. Very odd.
A bit of background: as you [...]
