Hello,

Given that the subset of .NET compatible with Silverlight excludes the Serializable attribute, is there any chance or way of getting Postsharp to work with Silverlight?

Thanks,

Hi Craig,

This requirement will be met in version 1.1, which will target also the Compact Framework. The stuff is developed but not yet released (and not yet stable enough).

Patience!

Gael,

Out of curiousity, do you have a timeframe in mind for when 1.1 will be released (and in a compatible state with SL)?

Thanks again,

No idea. Maybe there will be some beta in May-June 2008...

Hi,
looking forward to the Compact Framework support. Keep up the good work.

btw could you make a post to your blog what we can await in a next release that you are working on. Only a short preview, imo a lot of ppl are curious

Gael,

Just out of curiosity, is there support for SL and CF in the 1.1 bits in the download page?

[gfraiteur]

Yes, there is an experimental support, but the experience did not proof to be successful. I am implementing a new support strategy, so things will change a lot.

Hi -

Excellent work with the silverlight support. Thank you.

Have a potential issue: I've added an aspect attribute to my SL2.0 assembly and am receiving a build error - only note I've found is this is a resolved issue arising from looking at an invalid xml file when checking for updates:
info PS0092: Unexpected error during auto-update check: Root element is missing.
EXEC : error : Unhandled exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. See below for details.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
