Members

This section describes members of F# object types.

Remarks

Members are features that are part of a type definition and are declared with the member keyword. F# object types such as records, classes, discriminated unions, interfaces, and structures support members. For more information, see Records, Classes, Discriminated Unions, Interfaces, and Structs.

Members typically make up the public interface for a type, which is why they are public unless otherwise specified. Members can also be declared private or internal. For more information, see Access Control. Signatures files can also be used to expose or not expose certain members of a type. For more information, see Signatures.

Private fields and do bindings, which are used only with classes, are not true members, because they are never part of the public interface of a type and are not declared with the member keyword, but they are described in this section also.
