Self Note: Debug Type Provider

With the type provider template, there can still be something odd and you need to debug it.

use the following settings to debug the type provider:

In the project property's "Debug" tab, set

Start external Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.0\Framework\v4.0\fsc.exe
Start Options's Command line arguments:

-o:obj\Debug\ConsoleApplication1.exe -g --debug:full --noframework --define:DEBUG --define:TRACE --doc:bin\Debug\ConsoleApplication1.XML --optimize- --tailcalls- --platform:anycpu32bitpreferred -r:"C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\FSharp\3.0\Runtime\v4.0\FSharp.Core.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\mscorlib.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\System.Core.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\System.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\System.Numerics.dll" -r:"C:\ TypeProviderTemplate2\TypeProviderTemplate2\bin\Debug\TypeProviderTemplate2.dll" --target:exe --warn:3 --warnaserror:76 --vserrors --validate-type-providers --LCID:1033 --utf8output --fullpaths --flaterrors --subsystemversion:6.00 --highentropyva+ "C:\Users\taliu\AppData\Local\Temp\.NETFramework,Version=v4.5.AssemblyAttributes.fs" Program.fs

and working directory as: C:\\TypeProviderTemplate2\ConsoleApplication1\ 

the working directory points to a ConsoleApplication which consume the generated type from the type provider.
