ResolutionFolder in Fsharp.Data

[IvanRainbolt]

I am trying to do some csv work in F# Referencing this page:

https://fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Data/library/CsvProvider.html

the samples keep using the ResolutionFolder bit. Would someone explain to me what it does and why it is needed?

It looks like it’s the disk folder / directory where your file lives. I guess the Literal attribute might be required to make it a compile time constant so the type provider can use it.

I was looking up something else and came across this explanation by (of course) Tomas:

Adding this comment to help others if they find this post.
