title: How to Enable Intellisense in VS Code + Ionide?
body: <p>I've created an F# (script) app via the dotnet cli using the following outlined steps. However, when I open the app/project in VS Code with Ionide, intellisense is inactive. How can I resolve this? </p>
  
  <p>To create the app/project, I:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Created an app directory</li>
  <li>Ran <code>dotnet new tool-manifest</code> and <code>dotnet tool install paket</code> and <code>dotnet paket restore</code></li>
  <li>Ran <code>dotnet paket init</code></li>
  <li>Modified <code>paket.dependencies</code></li>
  <li>Opened "project" in VS Code with Ionide </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>paket.dependencies</strong> (<em>Note</em>: I removed framework restrictions)</p>
  
  <pre><code>source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
  
  storage: packages
  nuget FSharp.Data
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Script</strong>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#r "./packages/FSharp.Core/lib/netstandard2.0/FSharp.Core.dll"
  #r "./packages/FSharp.Data/lib/netstandard2.0/FSharp.Data.dll"
  
  open System
  open FSharp.Data
  
  type research = CsvProvider&lt;"./path/to/file", HasHeaders=true, PreferOptionals=true&gt;
  let data = research.GetSample()
  </code></pre>
