No project for "F # Application" in VS Express 2012 for the Internet

I installed F # Tools for Visual Studio Express 2012 for the web . When I select New Project, I expected to see the F # application in the list of Visual F # templates, but all I see is the F # library and the F # tutorial.

I say that I expected this because I see that it is mentioned in Chris Smith's book "Programming F # 3.0."

Any suggestions for creating an F # application template in the list?

There is no F # application template in the VS Express 2012 web editor, but you can easily create it by adding the F # library project and then going to the project properties and specifying the output type as a console application on the Application tab,

The following short video from Jon Harrop shows how to create a Windows application: Developing WPF GUIs for desktop GUIs in F # using VS Express 2012 for the Web

The process is the same for a console application.

I got F # from this link , and I installed the extensions (Tools -> Extensions and Updates) shown below:

Extensions and Updates

Now I can create the following types of projects in Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web:

Jon Harrop videos certainly deserve attention.

EDIT

The second image is scaled down and the text is illegible. Project templates for Visual F# -> Windows :

  • Library F #
  • F # library (class library)
  • F # Windows App (Service)
  • F # Windows App (WinForms)
  • F # Windows App (WPF)
  • F # Windows Console App
  • Tutorial F #

Just to complete the list, here are other types of projects:

Visual F# -> Silverlight

  • F # Silverlight Library

ASPNET

  • F # and C # Web Application (ASP.NET MVC 4)

Service

  • F # and C # Web Service (ASP.NET, WSDL)
