Using extension methods defined in C# from F# code

Question

I have a series of extension methods defined for various classes in a C# library. I\'m currently writing some F# code and instead of rewriting that code I would simply like

Answer 1

Update:

In the current version of F#, you can simply consume extension methods by adding

open TheNamespaceOfExtensionMethod

to your source file (just like you do in C# with a using directive) and simply call the extension method as if it was a normal instance method.

By the way, you can always call them directly just like a normal static method and pass the object reference as the first parameter without any directives if you want. An extension method is simply a static method decorated with ExtensionAttribute under the hood.

Original answer (before F# 2010 beta; not true anymore, as Dykam points out):

I don't think extension methods are supported by F#. You can always call them directly just like a normal static method and pass the object reference as the first parameter.
