FormatterRepository<TRole>.Register Method (Type, Type)
Registers the given formatterType for the given targetType.

Namespace:  PostSharp.Patterns.Formatters
Assembly:  PostSharp.Patterns.Common (in PostSharp.Patterns.Common.dll) Version: 6.9.11.0 (6.9.11.0)
Syntax
C#
Copy
public static void Register(
	Type targetType,
	Type formatterType
)

Parameters

targetType
Type: System.Type
formatterType
Type: System.Type
Remarks

Instances of formatterType are going to be created using a parameterless constructor.

When targetType is generic, the registration applies to its generic instantiations (and types that inherit/implement them).

Examples
If you register a formatter as FormattingServices.RegisterFormatter(typeof(IDictionary<,>), typeof(MyDictionaryFormatter<,>) and then log a parameter of type Dictionary<int, string>, the formatter for that parameter will be created by calling new MyDictionaryFormatter<int, string>.
