Cannot consume a [<CLIEvent>] in C# from F# module about fsharp HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @isaacabraham - This is by design - CLIEvent only applies to property members, see See 8.13.10 of http://fsharp.org/specs/language-spec/. Perhaps add a suggestion at http://fslang.uservoice.com to suggest that the attribute also applies to module values?

@dsyme yes, will do - it would certainly be a useful feature for when a module alone would suffice.

It might be worth mentioning this somewhere because I've spoken with a few people that thought that this was the expected behaviour :-)

I suppose our belief was that "global" static events were very rare in library design. Perhaps not.

In any case please add a link to the user voice entry once you add it.

Sometimes it's handy if you have a module with some functionality, which are exposed nicely in C# - events round off the story nicely. To be honest, I'd not mind either way - either a compiler warning or error, or to allow it.
