I can't seem to figure out how to get F# TypeProviders to work in a Windows Store (C#) app.
As far as I can tell, TypeProviders can only be used in an assembly targeting the full .NET Framework, whereas Windows Store apps must target .NET Portable.
I have created an F# assembly and referenced the F# TypeProviders library, however when attempting to reference this assembly from my Windows Store app, I receive an error stating that the library could not be referenced.
Is there any way around this? I want to use F# TypeProviders to reference various data sources and then use the generated code/types in my Windows Store app. Anyone have experience with this?
UPDATE:
Just to be clear, I am asking if there is a way to use the standard F# TypeProviders (such as WsdlService) in a Windows Store App?
Looking at the other assemblies FSharp.Data.TypeProviders.dll is referencing, I don't think there is a way around this. Since most type providers are used for accessing a database in one way or another (ADO.NET, LINQ to SQL, EF), it references System.Data.dll which is not available in WinRT.
The only data sources supported by built-in type providers that can be used in WinRT are web services and OData services. Their type providers maybe could be supported in a WinRT project if they were implemented in a separate library, but not in their current implementation.
