System.Data is missing from the F # project

Question

I am targeting .NET 3.5 but cannot get System.Data to make it appear in Intellisense. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Yes, this is "by design" and not an error in F #. By default, the project templates that we submit (in Visual Studio 2010) will add the following links:

• mscorlib.dll - things like "string"
• FSharp.Core.dll - All Things F #
• System.dll - things like System.IO
• System.Core.dll - .NET 3.5 add-ons such as HashSet <_>
• System.Numerics.dll - for type F # BigInteger

For any specific libraries, such as ADO.NET, WPF, WCF, etc., you will need to add the necessary assembly references.
