PostSharp

Hello,

I just discovered PostSharp and Log4PostSharp. It seems very interesting, but I can't compile the demo project, getting this message :

error: Unhandled exception: Cannot find the type 'PostSharp.Extensibility.MulticastAttribute, PostSharp.Public, Version=1.0.9.372, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b13fd38b8f9c99d7' in assembly 'PostSharp.Public, Version=1.0.10.385, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b13fd38b8f9c99d7'. See below for details.

Can you help me ?

Thanks a lot for your work,

I would guess it's a matter of version. You should set the references to PostSharp as "Specific Version = False".

Found it,

It was a question of version, but not where I thought of it first.
Log4PostSharp source code has a "Libraries" Directory with an old version of PostSharp.Public.dll.
I just deleted it, recompiled, and it works.

Thanks,
