Xamarin Forms In the .FSI -> Can't find NetStandard











up vote

favorite












I am using Visual Studio for the Mac and I want to test out some of my ideas in a script file. When I try and add a reference to Xamarin Forms in the script, the netstandard assembly can't be located.



For example



#r "/packages/Xamarin.Forms.3.0.0.482510/lib/netstandard2.0/Xamarin.Forms.Core.dll"

type Hex(tile: Tile) =
inherit Frame()
member this.Tile = tile



The type "object" is required here and is unavailable. You must and a
reference to assembly .netstandard Version 2.0.0.0




The thing is, I can't find where that would be on my local file system and just doing this



#r "NETStandard.Library.dll"


does not work

            I am sure this is not the best way, but I went into the Finder, Hit Go -> Computer and put "net standard" in the search bar. Lots of hits came back so I just picked an arbitrary net standard.dll and selected "copy path" which I pasted into the fsi. It works, but I want to take a shower now....
