Add references to System.Runtime.Serialization and System.XML to your project.
For the Couchbase functionality you also need to download and add the Couchbase .Net Client libraries and configure your app.config to point to your Couchbase DB.
Used in this example with Couchbase to store an object as Json and then to retreive the object back again.
open Enyim open Enyim.Caching.Memcached open Couchbase open System open System.IO open System.Runtime.Serialization.Json open System.Text type Customer = { First : string; Last: string; SSN: int; AccountNumber : int; }let customerToString (cust : Customer) = String.Format("First : {0}; Last: {1}; SSN: {2}; AccountNumber : {3};", cust.First, cust.Last, cust.SSN, cust.AccountNumber)let toJson (o: 'a) = let ms = new MemoryStream() let serialiser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof<'a>) serialiser.WriteObject(ms, o) |> ignore let jsonString = Encoding.Default.GetString(ms.ToArray()) ms.Dispose |> ignore jsonString let fromJson<'a> (str : string) = let ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(str)) let serialiser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof<'a>) let (obj :'a) = serialiser.ReadObject(ms) :?> 'a ms.Dispose() obj let peter = { Customer.First = "Peter"; Last = "Henell"; SSN = 10; AccountNumber = 123123 }let client = new CouchbaseClient() client.Store(StoreMode.Add, "peter", toJson(peter)) |> ignore let getBack = client.Get("peter") :?> stringlet p = fromJson<Customer>(getBack) printfn "%s" (customerToString p) Console.ReadKey() |> ignore
