Class MessageLocation

Represents the location of a message. For the end user, it is a line in a source code file. For the aspect developer, the location can be an object that represents an element of code (for example, a Type or MethodInfo). PostSharp resolves such implicit locations to a file and line number.

public class MessageLocation

Remarks

Always give a relevant location to the messages you emit. Besides pointing the user to the source code, the location determines whether a SuppressWarningAttribute applies: PostSharp looks for this attribute on the element of code of the location and on its enclosing declarations.
