Classes

AllowFreeInstancesAttribute

AssemblyIdAttribute

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

BindingContext

Enumeration of contexts in which assemblies can be loaded.

DebuggerInterop

EscalatePostSharpMessageAttribute

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

HasInheritedAttributeAttribute

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.

ImplementationBoundAttributeAttribute

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

InvalidAnnotationException

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

Message

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

MessageDispenser

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?.

MessageException

Exception embedding a Message.

MessageLocation

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 System.Reflection.MethodInfo). Such implicit locations are resolved by PostSharp to a file and line number.

MessageSource

Provides commodity methods to work with an IMessageSink.

MetricAttribute

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

MulticastAttribute

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

MulticastAttributes

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

MulticastAttributeUsageAttribute

Custom attribute that determines the usage of a MulticastAttribute.

MulticastImplementationDetailsTypeAttribute

MulticastInheritance

Kind of inheritance of MulticastAttribute.

MulticastTargets

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

PostSharpEnvironment

Provides access to the current PostSharp environment (IPostSharpEnvironment).

ProjectExtensionElement

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

RequireLicenseAttribute

RequirePostSharpAttribute

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.

SeverityType

Types of message severities.

SuppressAnnotationValidationAttribute

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

SuppressWarningAttribute

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

Interfaces

ICompatibilityLevelService

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

IFormattingService

Provides a service similar to System.String.Format(System.String,System.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 System.Reflection.MethodInfo.

IMessageDispenser

Gets a text given its key.

IMessageLocationResolver

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

IMessageSink

Receives messages.

IPostSharpEnvironment

Provides information about the current PostSharp environment.

IProject

Provides information about the currently executing project.

IReflectionBindingManagerService

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

IService

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

IServiceLocator

Exposes build-time services.

IStateStore

A context that provides storage for arbitrary items.

IValidableAnnotation

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

IWeavingSymbolsService

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