F# Add Reference Addon

Recently we got a customer request to add reference to FSI. I get this feature working and another feature added. A "Scripts" folder is created which contains several .fsx files. See the screen shot below. These script files are generated to help to load the project references and project. Typically there are only Debug and Release configuration, if there is other configuration, a new set of files are generated. Auto update happens after each build. The content of these file are updated automatically. It can be download it from visual studio gallery.

c:\MyProjects\MyProject\Scripts\load-refs.fsx:

  #r "System.dll”

  #r "System.Xml.dll”

  #r @"c:\MyProjects\OtherProject\bin\Debug\OtherProject.dll”

c:\MyProjects\MyProject\Scripts\load-refs-release.fsx:

  #r "System.dll”

  #r "System.Xml.dll”

  #r @"c:\MyProjects\OtherProject\bin\Release\OtherProject.dll”

c:\MyProjects\MyProject\Scripts\load-proj.fsx:

  #load @"c:\MyProjects\MyProject\Scripts\load-refs.fsx”

  #r @"c:\MyProjects\MyProject\Debug\bin\MyProject.dll”

c:\MyProjects\MyProject\Scripts\load-proj-release.fsx:

  #load @"c:\MyProjects\MyProject\Scripts\load-refs-release.fsx”

  #r @"c:\MyProjects\MyProject\Release\bin\MyProject.dll”
