Well-Known PostSharp Properties |
The following table lists the PostSharp properties that may be set from the MSBuild project. The second column specifies the name of the MSBuild property that influences the value of the PostSharp property, if any.
Property Name | MSBuild Property Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Configuration | Configuration | Build configuration (typically Debug or Release). |
Platform | Platform | Target processor architecture (typically AnyCPU, x86 or x64). |
MSBuildProjectFullPath | MSBuildProjectFullPath | Full path of the C# or VB project being built. |
IgnoredAssemblies | Comma-separated list of assembly short names (without extension) that should be ignored by the dependency scanning algorithm. Add an assembly to this list if it is obfuscated, or contains native code, and causes PostSharp to fail. | |
ReferenceDirectory | MSBuildProjectDirectory | Directory with respect to which relative paths are resolved. |
SearchPath | PostSharpSearchPath | Comma-separated list of directories containing reference assemblies and plug-ins. |
TargetFrameworkIdentifier | TargetFrameworkIdentifier | Identifier of the target framework of the current project (i.e. the framework on which the application will run). For instance .NETFramework or Silverlight. |
TargetFrameworkVersion | TargetFrameworkVersion | Version of the target framework of the current project (i.e. the framework on which the application will run). For instance v4.0. |
TargetFrameworkProfile | TargetFrameworkProfile | Profile of the target framework of the current project (i.e. the framework on which the application will run). For instance WindowsPhone. |
Other properties are recognized but are of little interest for end-users. For a complete list of properties, see PostSharp.targets.
By defining your own PostSharp properties, you can pass information from the build environment to aspects, or to any code running in PostSharp. Custom PostSharp properties behave exactly as other PostSharp properties, so they can be defined and read using the same procedures.
