F# SQL typeprovider

Question

According to the Microsoft documentation I should be able to instantiate a db schema like this:

type dbSchema = SqlDataConnection<"Data Source=MYSERVER\INSTANCE;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=SSPI;">

In Visual Studio 2011, F# 3.0 and .Net 4.5 this gives me an error and I have to use:

[<Generate>] type dbSchema = SqlDataConnection<"Data Source=MYSERVER\INSTANCE;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=SSPI;">

which does work.

I don't understand why (I'm new to F#) and would like to know if there is something wrong with my setup, if this is just a beta thing or if this is a bug?

What's going on?

Answer 1

When I reinstalled Visual Studio 11 beta the error went away.
