| type AllowNullLiteralAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a type lets the 'null' literal be used for the type within F# code. This attribute may only be added to F#-defined class or interface types. |
| type AutoOpenAttribute |
This attribute is used for two purposes. When applied to an assembly, it must be given a string argument, and this argument must indicate a valid module or namespace in that assembly. Source code files compiled with a reference to this assembly are processed in an environment where the given path is automatically oepned. |
| type AutoSerializableAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a type with value 'false' disables the behaviour where F# makes the type Serializable by default. |

| type CLIMutableAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a record type causes it to be compiled to a CLI representation with a default constructor with property getters and setters. |
| type ComparisonConditionalOnAttribute |
This attribute is used to indicate a generic container type satisfies the F# 'comparison' constraint only if a generic argument also satisfies this constraint. For example, adding this attribute to parameter 'T on a type definition C<'T> means that a type C<X> only supports comparison if the type X also supports comparison and all other conditions for C<X> to support comparison are also met. The type C<'T> can still be used with other type arguments, but a type such as C<(int -> int)> will not support comparison because the type (int -> int) is an F# function type and does not support comparison. |
| type CompilationArgumentCountsAttribute |
This attribute is generated automatically by the F# compiler to tag functions and members that accept a partial application of some of their arguments and return a residual function |
| type CompilationMappingAttribute |
This attribute is inserted automatically by the F# compiler to tag types and methods in the generated CLI code with flags indicating the correspondence with original source constructs. It is used by the functions in the Microsoft.FSharp.Reflection namespace to reverse-map compiled constructs to their original forms. It is not intended for use from user code. |
| type CompilationRepresentationAttribute |
This attribute is used to adjust the runtime representation for a type. For example, it may be used to note that the null representation may be used for a type. This affects how some constructs are compiled. |
| type CompilationRepresentationFlags |
Indicates one or more adjustments to the compiled representation of an F# type or member. |
| type CompilationSourceNameAttribute |
This attribute is inserted automatically by the F# compiler to tag methods which are given the 'CompiledName' attribute. It is not intended for use from user code. |

| type EntryPointAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a function indicates it is the entrypoint for an application. If this absent is not speficied for an EXE then the initialization implicit in the module bindings in the last file in the compilation sequence are used as the entrypoint. |
| type EqualityConditionalOnAttribute |
This attribute is used to indicate a generic container type satisfies the F# 'equality' constraint only if a generic argument also satisfies this constraint. For example, adding this attribute to parameter 'T on a type definition C<'T> means that a type C<X> only supports equality if the type X also supports equality and all other conditions for C<X> to support equality are also met. The type C<'T> can still be used with other type arguments, but a type such as C<(int -> int)> will not support equality because the type (int -> int) is an F# function type and does not support equality. |
| type ExperimentalAttribute |
This attribute is used to tag values that are part of an experimental library feature. |
| type float<'Measure> |
The type of floating point numbers, annotated with a unit of measure. The unit of measure is erased in compiled code and when values of this type are analyzed using reflection. The type is representationally equivalent to System.Double. |

| type LiteralAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a value causes it to be compiled as a CLI constant literal. |
| type MeasureAnnotatedAbbreviationAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a type causes it to be interpreted as a refined type, currently limited to measure-parameterized types. This may only be used under very limited conditions. |
| type MeasureAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a type causes it to be interpreted as a unit of measure. This may only be used under very limited conditions. |
| type nativeptr<'T> |
Represents an unmanaged pointer in F# code. |
| type NoComparisonAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a type indicates it is a type where comparison is an abnormal operation. This means that the type does not satisfy the F# 'comparison' constraint. Within the bounds of the F# type system, this helps ensure that the F# generic comparison function is not instantiated directly at this type. The attribute and checking does not constrain the use of comparison with base or child types of this type. |
| type NoDynamicInvocationAttribute |
This attribute is used to tag values that may not be dynamically invoked at runtime. This is typically added to inlined functions whose implementations include unverifiable code. It causes the method body emitted for the inlined function to raise an exception if dynamically invoked, rather than including the unverifiable code in the generated assembly. |
| type NoEqualityAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a type indicates it is a type where equality is an abnormal operation. This means that the type does not satisfy the F# 'equality' constraint. Within the bounds of the F# type system, this helps ensure that the F# generic equality function is not instantiated directly at this type. The attribute and checking does not constrain the use of comparison with base or child types of this type. |

| type Ref<'T> |
The type of mutable references. Use the functions [:=] and [!] to get and set values of this type. |
| type ReferenceEqualityAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a record or union type disables the automatic generation of overrides for 'System.Object.Equals(obj)', 'System.Object.GetHashCode()' and 'System.IComparable' for the type. The type will by default use reference equality. |
| type ReflectedDefinitionAttribute |
Adding this attribute to the let-binding for the definition of a top-level value makes the quotation expression that implements the value available for use at runtime. |
| type RequireQualifiedAccessAttribute |
This attribute is used to indicate that references to a the elements of a module, record or union type require explicit qualified access. |
| type RequiresExplicitTypeArgumentsAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a type, value or member requires that uses of the construct must explicitly instantiate any generic type parameters. |
| type sbyte<'Measure> |
The type of 8-bit signed integer numbers, annotated with a unit of measure. The unit of measure is erased in compiled code and when values of this type are analyzed using reflection. The type is representationally equivalent to System.SByte. |

Indicates the relationship between a compiled entity in a CLI binary and an element in F# source code. |
| type StructAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a type causes it to be represented using a CLI struct. |
| type StructuralComparisonAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a record, union, exception, or struct type confirms the automatic generation of implementations for 'System.IComparable' for the type. |
| type StructuralEqualityAttribute |
Adding this attribute to a record, union or struct type confirms the automatic generation of overrides for 'System.Object.Equals(obj)' and 'System.Object.GetHashCode()' for the type. |
| type StructuredFormatDisplayAttribute |
This attribute is used to mark how a type is displayed by default when using '%A' printf formatting patterns and other two-dimensional text-based display layouts. In this version of F# the only valid values are of the form PreText {PropertyName} PostText. The property name indicates a property to evaluate and to display instead of the object itself. |
| type Unit |
The type 'unit', which has only one value "()". This value is special and always uses the representation 'null'. |
| type UnverifiableAttribute |
This attribute is used to tag values whose use will result in the generation of unverifiable code. These values are inevitably marked 'inline' to ensure that the unverifiable constructs are not present in the actual code for the F# library, but are rather copied to the source code of the caller. |
| type VolatileFieldAttribute |
Adding this attribute to an F# mutable binding causes the "volatile" prefix to be used for all accesses to the field. |
