SharpDevelop, F#, missing “Send to F# Interactive” context menu
Explains why SharpDevelop may not show the 'Send to F# Interactive' command for F# script files and how adding the FSX file to an F# project enables it
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
context menu _Send to F# Interactive”_is available
