PostSharp

[Haukinger]

Hi all !

Is it possible to use PostSharp as kind of Preprocessor that creates new Properties ?
E.g. I've got something like this:

Code: Select all

class AClass
{
  private int myValue;
  [TheAttribute]
  public int MyProperty
  {
    get { return myvalue; }
  }
}

I want PostSharp (using TheAttribute) to expand it to:

Code: Select all

class AClass
{
  private int myValue;
  public static PropertyInfo _MyProperty { get { return typeof(AClass).GetProperty("MyProperty"); } }
  public int MyProperty
  {
    get { return myvalue; }
  }
}

Can PostSharp do this ?

You can use PostSharp as a post-processor. The new property will not be visible from C# code of the same assembly. However, it will be visible to C# code of other assemblies.

However, to cannot add new properties using PostSharp Laos. You need to develop your own aspect using PostSharp Core.

Ok, that should be enough. Can you give me a hint where to start with developing my aspect ?
