F# support for .NET Core and .NET Standard projects in Visual Studio

[krish]

Visual Studio 2017 15.5 Preview 4 now supports F# projects targeting .NET Core, .NET Standard, and .NET Framework through the .NET Core SDK.


What’s new
There are several new features in this new project support, and if you’ve used it with C# and .NET Core or .NET Standard projects, you’ll likely know about all of them. Here are a few that I like:

• Project files are significantly smaller, often by an order of magnitude.
  
• Project files are editable without having to unload the project.
  
• You can edit a project file (e.g., adding a package) and when it’s saved, the project system will automatically react to those changes (such as restoring an added package).
  
• NuGet dependencies, the SDK reference, and project-to-project references are unified under the Dependencies node.
