PostSharp.Extensibility Namespace

Assigns a unique identifier to an assembly. This assembly identifier is used to generate unique attribute identifiers.

Custom attribute that, when applied on an assembly, means that a given message should be escalated to an error during the current PostSharp session.

Internal Only. Custom attribute used internally by PostSharp to mark elements having inherited custom attributes. This custom attribute should not be used in custom code, otherwise PostSharp may not work properly.

Custom attribute meaning that custom attributes of a given type are bound to the implementation, not to the semantics.

Exception thrown at build time by implementation of CompileTimeValidate(Object) when an annotation is invalid.

Encapsulates a message (error, warning, info, ...).

Provides a base implementation of IMessageDispenser where the message key is supposed to be in format PRE0000, where PRE is a prefix and 0000 is an integer. Keys for help URLs have the format PRE0000?.

Exception embedding a Message.

Represents the location of a message, which means, for the end-user, a line in a file of source code. From the aspect developer, the location can be known as an object representing an element of code (for instance a Type or MethodInfo). Such implicit locations are resolved by PostSharp to a file and line number.

Provides commodity methods to work with an IMessageSink.

Custom attribute that, when applied on an aspect, causes the aspect to increment some metric at build time.

Custom attribute that can be applied to multiple elements using wildcards.

Custom attribute that determines the usage of a MulticastAttribute.

Provides access to the current PostSharp environment (IPostSharpEnvironment).

Represents a custom element (or section) in the XML project type.

Custom attribute that, when applied on another custom attribute (a class derived from Attribute), means that assemblies with elements annotated with that custom attribute should be processed by PostSharp.

Instructs PostSharp that the validation of IValidableAnnotation is done by another component, and should not be processed by the default component.

Instructs PostSharp to ignore warnings and information messages. Errors cannot be ignored.

Exposes the PostSharp version with which the current version of PostSharp should be backward compatible.

Provides a service similar to Format(String, Object[]), but uses the same formatter as the one used by PostSharp for error messages. This formatter does a better job at formatting objects like Type or MethodInfo.

Gets a text given its key.

Provides a method that returns the file and line where a declaration (such as a Type or MethodInfo) is declared.

Receives messages.

Provides information about the current PostSharp environment.

Provides information about the currently executing project.

Exposes the ResolveAssembly(Type) method, which gets the reference identity of the assembly declaring a given type.

A service exposed by the build-time part of PostSharp.

Exposes build-time services.

A context that provides storage for arbitrary items.

Interface that, when implemented by a custom attribute (Attribute), causes PostSharp to invoke a validation method for every instance of that custom attribute.

Service that allows build-time code to push annotations (both programmatic and user-visible) to PostSharp Tools for Visual Studio.

Enumeration of contexts in which assemblies can be loaded.

Attributes of elements to which multicast custom attributes (MulticastAttribute) apply.

Kind of inheritance of MulticastAttribute.

Kinds of targets to which multicast custom attributes (MulticastAttribute) can apply.

Types of message severities.
