PostSharp

[akcoder]

I'm using PostSharp version 1.0.7.280.  I added a reference PostSharp.Core, Laos and Public to my DomainModel.

In my DomainModel, I have a class called Person.  On the Person class I added the EditableObject and NotifyPropertyChanged aspects from the PostSharp samples.

Everything in my DomainModel compiles and works just fine after adding these attributes.  However, now when I compile, the various projects of my solution which use my DomainModel now demand a reference to PostSharp.Laos.  To me, this seems like a very leaky abstraction.

Error from MSBuild:
The type 'PostSharp.Laos.IComposed`1<T0>' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'PostSharp.Laos, Version=1.0.7.281, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b13fd38b8f9c99d7'.    C:\Projects\Personal Projects\NHibernate Demo\BusinessLogic\PersonManager.cs
The type 'PostSharp.Laos.IProtectedInterface`1<T0>' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'PostSharp.Laos, Version=1.0.7.281, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b13fd38b8f9c99d7'.    C:\Projects\Personal Projects\NHibernate Demo\BusinessLogic\PersonManager.cs

Any help you have would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,

Your project using aspects should have references to PostSharp.Public.dll and PostSharp.Laos.dll.

If you use the composition aspect (which adds interfaces to types), you'll have to add PostSharp.Laos.dll (and maybe PostSharp.Public.dll) to all projects *referencing* aspected projects should have.
