Source and releases for the FSharpExtensions project is hosted on CodePlex, and can be found here:

Configuration note

All bistro projects are configured with relative assembly references.

To get the projects to compile as-is, you will need the following directory structure

• Top-level folder (arbitrary, we'll use c:\dev\BistroFramework for reference)
  • \Bistro
  • \FSharpExtensions
  • \Examples
    • All example projects

Note that the example projects have a dependency on ndjango, and expect it to reside under the same top-level folder (c:\dev in our example), in a folder called NDjango. See ndjango downloads page for more details).

If you choose to follow a different directory structure, simply update your references to your locations of the Bistro dlls.
