Class FieldLevelAspect

Base class for all aspects applied on fields.

Inheritance
FieldLevelAspect
Namespace: PostSharp.Aspects
Assembly: PostSharp.dll
Syntax
[Serializer(null)]
public abstract class FieldLevelAspect : Aspect, IFieldLevelAspect, IAspect, IFieldLevelAspectBuildSemantics, IAspectBuildSemantics, IValidableAnnotation
Remarks

note

Consider deriving your aspects from LocationLevelAspect; locations can abstract both fields and properties, making it possible to apply the same aspect to both.

note

This class does not provide any advice. You may derive your aspect class from a Developing Simple Aspects, or build a Developing Member-Level Aspects or a Developing Type- and Assembly-Level Aspects with advice methods.

Developing Member-Level Aspects Developing Type- and Assembly-Level Aspects

An aspect derived from this class can declare the following advices. Without a pointcut, or with SelfPointcut, they apply to the field to which the aspect is applied: the location interception advices OnLocationGetValueAdvice, OnLocationSetValueAdvice and OnInstanceLocationInitializedAdvice, and LocationValidationAdvice. IntroduceMemberAttribute introduces members into the declaring type of the target. IntroduceInterfaceAttribute and ImportMemberAttribute require an instance-scoped aspect (IInstanceScopedAspect).


note

All classes implementing IAspect should typically be marked as serializable using the SerializableAttribute or PSerializableAttribute custom attribute. Fields that are only used at runtime (and unknown at compile-time) should be carefully marked with the NonSerializedAttribute or PNonSerializedAttribute custom attribute. When another aspect serializer (such as MsilAspectSerializer) is used, it is not necessary to mark the aspect class as serializable. For more information, see Understanding Aspect Serialization.

Methods

Name Description
CompileTimeInitialize(FieldInfo, AspectInfo)

Method invoked at build time to initialize the instance fields of the current aspect. This method is invoked before any other build-time method.

CompileTimeValidate(object)

Method invoked at build time to ensure that the aspect has been applied to the right target.

CompileTimeValidate(FieldInfo)

Method invoked at build time to ensure that the aspect has been applied to the right target.

RuntimeInitialize(FieldInfo)

Method invoked at runtime before any other method of the aspect is invoked.

SetAspectConfiguration(AspectConfiguration, object)

Method invoked at build time to set up an AspectConfiguration object according to the current Aspect instance and a specified target element of the current aspect.

SetAspectConfiguration(AspectConfiguration, FieldInfo)

Method invoked at build time to set up an AspectConfiguration object according to the current Aspect instance and a specified target element of the current aspect.
