Remarks

See AspectRoleDependencyAttribute for a discussion of aspect roles.

Roles are used to categorize aspects according to their function. This class defines standard names for the most commonly used aspect roles. If you are an aspect vendor, you are encouraged to enroll your aspects (using ProvideAspectRoleAttribute) into one of these roles.

If this list is not sufficient, we at PostSharp encourage you contact us to define a new role string. In any case, if you define a new role string, we recommend you clearly define it so that users of your aspect can express dependencies with their own aspects, or third-party aspects.
