Windows Forms

The Samples101 sample is a small GUI program that guides you through the a range of straight-forward mini-samples using F#. You can build it with build.bat. (Runs on: Windows/.NET 2.0)
The SimpleForm sample shows how to declare a simple Windows Form. Can be run (Mode: Interactive or Compiled, Runs on: any CLI, including Mono). The WinForms samples will cover common WinForm controls via small examples. (Mode: Interactive or Compiled). (Runs on: any CLI, including Mono)
The WebCrawl sample shows how to fetch web pages and RSS synchronously and asynchronously, displaying the results interactively. (Mode: Interactive, Runs on: any CLI, including Mono)
The famous F# DirectX Demo shows how to do interactive visualization of moving 3D surfaces and simulate motion on these surfaces. This is for use with the Managed DirectX libraries for 2D and 3D graphics, sound, music and other exceptionally cool stuff. (Mode: Interactive, Runs on: Windows/.NET 2.0 with Managed DirectX Runtime)
The Getting Started with WPF in F# Interactive is a micro helper-sample to give you the essential script you need to get going with using WPF from F# Interactive. (Mode: Interactive, Runs on: .NET 2.0 with .NET 3.0/WPF installed)
The FLinq sample shows how to use F# quotation meta-programming in conjunction with the LINQ libraries for strongly typed, programmatic database and data transformation. As of F# 1.1.15 the 2006 May CTP edition of LINQ is required. (Mode: Compiled, Runs on: Windows/.NET 2.0 with LINQ)
The Web samples, e.g. ASP.NET 2.0 sample.
The DirectX Tutorials The mini-tutorials were provided by Jack Palevich.Tutorial 1 shows how to create a DirectX device for use with a Windows form. Tutorial 3 is a basic introduction to the matricies used to specify 3D scenes. Tutorial 6 introduces meshes and textures. Interactive/script.fsx scripting sample shows another example of using DirectX with the F# Interactive top level fsi.exe. However the 3D Interactive DirectX demo is really much more fun. (Mode: Compiled, Runs on: Windows/.NET 2.0 with Managed DirectX Runtime)
The Concurrent Game of Life sample shows how to write a multi-threaded GUI for simulation-like computations in F#. It is an advanced sample that demonstrates some of the powerful and unique features of F#. In this release it is written using the experimental 'light' syntax.option (Mode: Compiled, Requires: .NET 2.0, Runs on: Windows/.NET 2.0)
The Parsing sample shows how to use the fsyacc and fslex tools to build parsers and lexers for use with F#. (Mode: Compiled, Runs on: any CLI, including Mono)
The TermWalker script sample shows how to use the F#-specific augmentation to the .NET reflection library to write generic algorithms to walk F# terms, in this case to assess the degree of leaf-node sharing in a term graph. (Mode: Interactive, Runs on: any CLI, including Mono)
Older samples:

The SimpleInterop sample shows how to call F# from C# and vice-versa. (Runs on: any CLI, including Mono)
The Sockets sample shows how to write a simple 'echo' server that will accept multiple client connections via sockets and simply sends back data to the client. (Runs on: any CLI, including Mono)
The TypeFinder sample shows how call .NET reflection libraries from F#. (Runs on: any CLI, including Mono)
The AsyncDelegates sample shows how to create and execute asynchronous F# code, to be managed by the .NET Thread Pool. (Runs on: Windows/.NET 2.0)
The VideoPlayer sample shows how to call the Quartz video-playing COM component. (Runs on: Windows/.NET 2.0)
The Automation samples show that it is possible to use the Microsoft Word and Excel 'Automation' APIs from F# to script these programs. You even get to control Excel and Word through F# Interactive! More recent versions of Microsoft Office include strongly typed .NET APIs. (Runs on: Windows/.NET 2.0, Requires Microsoft Office)

**Delete the following note before publishing **

This resource page is currently in setup mode and only available to coordinators and developers. Once you have finished setting up your resource page you can publish it to make it available to all MSDN Code Gallery visitors.

To get your Resource Page ready to publish, you should do the following:

Make any changes to the details of your resource page

Here you can enable or disable functions of your resource page. You might want to turn on the Issue Tracker to allow users to provide feedback on your resource, or if you have a resource that does not involve a code sample, you may want to turn off the Releases tab.
Make sure your resource page description is detailed enough to let people search for your resource.

Add your code sample or other resources to the resource page

If you’re uploading code, go to the Releases tab and create a new release to house your code. Creating a release allows you to have the license properly displayed when people download your code, as well as provides a download count.
Edit your Wiki page to attach any resources you may have that are not source code.

If you want to let someone see your resource page before it is published, go to the People tab and add them to your resource page

This will let you add other team members who may be contributing to your resource, or just show it off and get feedback from someone you trust.

Tag your resource page with descriptive tags to make it easier for people to find your resources when browsing the gallery.
Publish your resource page so it becomes visible to everyone!
