ImmutableDictionary is abstract so new
won't work. It does however provide a number of create methods.
ImmutableDictionary.Create<string, string>()
Domanda
I am trying to make use of the ImmutableDictionary in F# using Mono. I'm using the Xamarin IDE.
I have set my target framework to Mono/.Net4.5 and imported the System.Collections.Immutable using the built in Nuget package manager.
The following line
open System.Collections.Immutable
is generating the following two errors
'/Users/UserName/Projects/Xamarin/OrderInfer/OrderInference/MyTest.fs(34,34): Error FS1109: A reference to the type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable'1' in assembly 'System.Runtime' was found, but the type could not be found in that assembly (FS1109) (MyTest)'
/Users/UserName/Projects/Xamarin/OrderInfer/OrderInference: Error FS1108: The type 'Lazy'2' is required here and is unavailable. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.ComponentModel.Composition, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. (FS1108) (OrderInference)
The 2nd error suggests I need to reference System.ComponentModel.Composition. Am I able to use it in Mono? If so, is there another assembly I need to reference?
EDIT: Solution removed and reposted below as an answer

This problem can be solved by adding a reference to: 'System.ComponentModel.Composition'. In Xamarin's IDE, this is done by using the Edit References Dialog which can be found by right-clicking on the reference in your project. Go to the All tab and search for System.ComponentModel
and just add the System.ComponentModel.Composition
assembly.
I now have the following two assemblies installed:
System.Collections.Immutable.dll
System.ComponentModel.Composition.dll
My code now reads:
open System
open System.ComponentModel.Composition
open System.Collections.Immutable
type wordPairs = { pairs:ImmutableDictionary<string, string>; count:int}
let myPairs = {pairs = ImmutableDictionary.Create<string, string>(); count = 0}
Note: As gradbot pointed out (and Immo Landwerth later nitpicked about ;>> ), ImmutableDictionary
is a abstract sealed class. And as such, it has no public constructors. So you need to use the .Create
method.
