Getting Started with FSRepository 2.0

FSRepository 2.0 is now available in the NuGet gallery. This version references EF 4.1, fixes an issue, and attempts to provide a more intuitive example.

Getting Started:

It's easy to get started with FSRepository 2.0.

1. Create a new F# Application (this example uses a project named TestFSRepository).
2. Follow the instructions defined in http://bloggemdano.blogspot.com/2011/01/fsrepository-new-nuget-package.html to install the FSRepository package.
3. Move the FSRepository.fs file above the Program.fs file (see http://lorgonblog.wordpress.com/2008/08/03/sneak-peeks-into-the-f-project-system-part-three/ for information on how to do this).
4. Add the following code to Program.fs and you're done.

open TestFSRepository.Repositories

type Program() = 
    static member Run() =
        use sampleRepository = new SampleRepository()
        let sample = new ASample()
        sample.Id <- 1
        sample.CreatedBy <- "Dan"
        do sampleRepository.Add sample
        do sampleRepository.Save()
        sampleRepository.GetAll()
        |> Seq.iter (fun (sample:ASample) -> 
                   (printfn "Sample Id = %A" sample.Id |> ignore))

Program.Run()
