IRInteropServer

Namespace: RProvider.Internal

Interface that is used for communication between the R provider server (RProvider.Server.exe) which communicates with R and the client that runs in the host IDE process (Visual Studio, Xamarin Studio etc.)

NOTE: In order to support standalone compilation of RProvider.Server.exe (which inlines the F# Core library), the interface does not expose any F# Core types.

Instance members

Instance member	Description
`GetBindings(arg1)` Signature: string -> (string * string) [] Modifiers: abstract	Returns an array with binding information. The first string is the name of the function. The second string is serialized `RValue` with information about the kind of the binding and function parameters (use `deserializeRValue`).
`GetFunctionDescriptions(arg1)` Signature: string -> (string * string) [] Modifiers: abstract	Returns an array with pairs consisting of function name and its description
`GetPackageDescription(arg1)` Signature: string -> string Modifiers: abstract	Returns the description (documentation) for a given package
`GetPackages()` Signature: unit -> string [] Modifiers: abstract	Returns an array with the names of all installed packages (e.g. "base", "graphics" etc.)
`GetRDataSymbols(arg1)` Signature: string -> (string * Type) [] Modifiers: abstract	Given an `.rdata` file, returns the names of the symbols in the file, together with an F# type that it can be converted to (this is done by getting the type of `symExpr.Value` using currently installed convertors). If the type is not available, this returns `null`.
`InitializationErrorMessage` Signature: string Modifiers: abstract	If there was an initialization error when loading R provider, this string returns the error. Otherwise, the value is `null`.
`LoadPackage(arg1)` Signature: string -> unit Modifiers: abstract	Loads the package (using R's `require`). This should be called before `GetBindings`.
