In computing, aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a programming paradigm that aims to increase modularity by allowing the separation of cross-cutting concerns.
In Java’s world, AOP is a very popular concept and AspectJ is kind of de facto standards while PostSharp is the de facto standards in .NET’s world. However PostSharp is not free and heavy, so a lot of devleopers like me are seeking for framework. I came across a simple and clean one today MrAdvice
The minimal sample from its homepage
public class MyProudAdvice : Attribute, IMethodAdvice
{
public void Advise(MethodAdviceContext context)
{
// do things you want here
context.Proceed(); // this calls the original method
// do other things here
}
}
then just need to mark the method(s) with the attribute and that’s it, your aspect is injected!
[MyProudAdvice]
public void MyProudMethod()
{
}
I tested on my pc, it works. A simple and clear AOP framework just gets less than 200 stars！ I just have a research on this framework to know how it works. Here’s the source code overview. MrAdvice.Weaver is an executable and add a build task into target project. MrAdvice take advantage of dnlib to Reads and writes .NET assemblies and modules, so the injection happens at compile time.
