Situation, Problem

During playing a little bit with these WPF MVC F# projects inside SharpDevelop I stumbled over the situation, that I could not send F# snippets to the interactive window. The menu was not available.

Normally it looks like this:

Solution

If you would like to use the context menu “Send to F# Interactive” inside SharpDevelop during fsx developing, you have to ensure that this fsx file is part of an F# project!

fsx only as a solution item

no context menu “Send to F# Interactive”

fsx as a F# project item
