F#: always "unexpected 'when' keyword"

Question

The VS2010 Beta 2 F# compiler always complains about my usage of the when keyword, even when using copy-pasted code which is supposed to work, such as either of these snippets. For instance, this is the error I get when trying to execute a very trivial expression:

"Error FS0010: Unexpected keyword 'when' in expression. Expected '->' or other token. "

[for i in 1..50 when i < 10 -> i]  
---------------^^^^

Answer 1

You should use the yield keyword now. Like that:

[for i in 1 .. 50 do if i < 10 then yield i]

Answer 2

You want

[for i in 1..50 do
    if i < 10 then
        yield i]

The 'short' syntax with 'when' was removed a while back. See

and look for "compact sequence expressions" in that document.
