Providing a Discriminated Union from an F# Type Provider

f#, f#-3.0, type-providers

Solution

Unfortunately, it's not possible to define any F# specific types like Discriminated Unions, Records, or Modules, in a type provider, only classes and namespaces, which is a bit unfortunate

Problem

I've gotten the basics of type providers such as creating a type ``` let thisAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() let t = ProvidedTypeDefinition( thisAssembly,namespaceName, xType.Attribute(xname "name").Value, baseType = Some typeof<obj>) ``` but I need to be able to define record types and DU types is there any way to do this with type providers?
