I'm having problems using any types created in an assembly for an F# Generative Type Provider. I created a YouTube video that demonstrates this.

The error messages I get are:

  • The module/namespace 'tutorial' from compilation unit 'Addressbook1' did not contain the namespace, module or type 'Person'
  • A reference to the type 'tutorial.Person' in assembly 'Addressbook1' was found, but the type could not be found in that assembly

I don't understand because the type is definitely in the assembly. For troubleshooting this, the assembly is a very basic C# dll. The code in the video is available via git:

git url: https://code.google.com/p/froto/
git branch: help

Any troubleshooting ideas would be appreciated. I'm hoping to make more progress on an F# Type Provider for .proto files, but I'm stuck on this.
