    F# IDE written in F# now on Codeplex

    I've created a Codeplex project for the F# IDE I've been working on. Not published yet. I want to polish it up first.

    If you want to get a peek and get involved give me a username s.t. I can invite you.

    I was thinking of only involving some of the more "high profile" people (as well as anyone they suggest) around at first instead of just inviting everyone who says "Oh yeah! I want to get involved!". Which is great, don't get the wrong idea. I'd rather get a good foothold first with some expert F# advice (When is the book coming Don!  :P ). After some decisions are made on what to aim for and how, then I'll publish and everyone can see it!

    Over the past few days I've become a little flustered trying to customize a component to handle the syntax highlighting of the open file and have left a few things "in the dust" so to speak.

    I'll forego this tonight when I get home from work and implement:

    - Multiple files open at once. Already Partially implemented.
    - Integrate FSI.exe. FSC.exe was easy enough, I'm sure this will go off nicely.
    - Get more options into the options menu. Such as fsc.exe path, fsi.exe path, etc.
    - Get more options into the compiler menu. Such as "target", "optimization level", etc.

    I'll clean up the code as well. See what I can refactor, generalize, etc.

    Currently I'm using WinForms and so far everything is going off without a hitch. If someone can suggest something better, by all means fire away.

    Just to let everyone know. I'm in EST. Another 2 hours before I'm off work.

    I Brennan, I'd love to have a look at the work so far, but can't promise to contribute much as I'm a little busy at the moment. My codeplex username is robertpi.

    I think winforms is a sound choice. I had a vauge stab at trying to do something similar in WPF and found the text "flow document" very hard to work with.

    Cheers,
    Rob

    Hi Robert. Thanks for wanting to get involved.

    I've added you.

    Unfortunately, I forgot about this last night and it got to be too late for me to do anything. I took an hour this morning at work and did some refactoring. Unfortunately again, I don't have .Net 2.0 here at work so I can't submit my code until I get home tonight (>_<)

    I'll see if I can use something other than the Codeplex client.

    I used Teamprise Explorer and checked in my code.

    Any comments can be posted in the discussion board in the project.

    I warn you that i hardcoded the path of fsc into the source. That should be the only thing you have to change.

    Re: F# IDE written in F# now on Codeplex

    Since there is a good candidate for F# editor in Windows.  Why not try a WPF editor. I can imagine it would be hard, but what if we ported to Silverlight. An IDE in the browser, so we can write wherever, whenever. Let's say we have f# compiler on the server and get intellisense and on-the-fly compilation in the browser...

    BTW, did you give codeplex project link, or did I miss that ? I would like to see it as well.

    Cheers,
    Can.

    Sorry, no link. It's not published yet. I need a codeplex username to invite people.

    As far as I am concerned, I have no problem with switching to something else. I believe alot of the stuff can just be cut and paste (such as opening a file, saving a file, etc). There isn't alot of GUI work. I used Windows Forms because I knew I could get something pounded out quickly.

    Speaking of publishing to the web, We can do that to Winforms as well.

    Here is another Codeplex project that allows you to make a Winforms app and then turn it into a webpage. Looks like you need Visual Studio Though.

    I am working on a custom control right now for a colored text box.

    So after I finish that hopefully.

    Re: F# IDE written in F# now on Codeplex

    Hi,

    I was wondering if the F# ide project on CodePlex (from this summer) had advanced (or had been dropped).

    Cheers,

    Julien

    Re: F# IDE written in F# now on Codeplex

    FSIDE kinda fell apart. I didn't finish the syntax hi-lighting control and the project never got published.

    I just started using SciTE with a modified OCaml config file.
