Adding Aspects to Code

An aspect has no effect until it is applied to some element of code. PostSharp provides multiple ways to add aspects to your code.

Adding Aspects Using XML	This section shows how to add aspects without modifying your source code, by using an external configuration file.
Adding Aspects Programmatically using IAspectProvider	This section describes how to add aspects programmatically (by writing code that is executed at build-time) and overcome limitations of declarative approaches.
