Setting up F# in Visual Studio 2005

Question

Are there any decent tutorials for setting up F# in Visual Studio 2005? Everything I have found points at VS2008.

ie: 'F# projects' under projects, etc.

Answer 1

Installing F# Editing for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

That page also links to Don Syme's F# blog, which has a lot of useful stuff on working with F# in VS, including a demo of F# intellisense in VS2005.

Answer 2

Unfortunately the CTP release of F# doesn't support VS 2005. Two options:

1. Use 1.9.4.19, the most recent pre-CTP release
2. Download the free VS2008 shell and use that instead (I haven't tried it, but apparently it works)
